This is not my photo and the copyright is on the bottom right.
It appears to be a Euphyllia ancora, Hammer coral, which the photographer lists as being taken in Bonaire, the Caribbean. Are there any Hammer corals in the Caribbean?

I was pretty sure but they are an Indio-Pacific/Coral Sea species and not Caribbean, correct?

I lived and dove in Curacao for many years and never saw Hammer Coral, (that I know of...).
