Hi all just wondering if anyone could give me some direction, bought this as a lobophilia it looks to me that its something else, the body texture and shape is confusing me could anyone give us a hint in what genus I should be looking for?

My first thought was Lobophyllia hemprichii, just a single polyp. It could be a small Acanthophyllia though.
Definitely not a acanthophyllia, could it be symphyllia? As sometimes they get mistaken with lobophilia
