Coral ID

So picked this guy up but the young kid at the LFS wasn’t sure what kind of coral it was. I was thinking it was an Acan but would like some thoughts on it. I’m still temp acclimating so it’s not completely open but it basically looks the same open just bigger.

Maybe some sort of button coral, scolymia?

That’s what I thought. I was a little thrown off because all the Acans I’ve seen are multi color. This one is pretty much just red except the little polyps in the middle under the blue lights are purple.

Was thinking lower part of biocube 32. On the rocks a few inches off the bottom.
