Start a new thread and you'll likely get some answers.Anyone can ID my bounce mushroom?? All stages that I captured so far from it, no one I've asked seem to know what type it is but everyone wants it. Anyone with a mushroom expect can identify this i would appreciate it if no one knows I'd like to name it but if there is a name obviously I'll keep the original name

It’s definitely an acan, but may not necessarily be an echinata. There are multiple acan species that look like a. echinata, such as subechinata, hemprichii, brevis, and rotundoflora. The only acan I know how to identify is rotundoflora, which has smoother flesh and is more chalice-like than other acans.Looks like an incredible echinata specimen to me. @encrustingacro can probably confirm.
Is a blasto also an acan?It’s definitely an acan, but may not necessarily be an echinata.

(You know I have trouble telling all these apart, lol! Love all the info you provide )
Blastomussas are related to fox and bubble corals, while acans are related to lobos and doughnut corals. Blastos are usually phaceloid, but can also be cerioid, while acans range from being cerioid to sub-plocoid. Acans have sharp teeth on their septa which can sometimes be seen through the flesh, while blastomussas have small vesicles surrounding their polyps.Is a blasto also an acan?

Thanks! I truly give up, lol!Blastomussa is a separate genus from Acanthastrea.
But you might mean is a Blastomussa in the same group as an 'Acan Lord' (now Micromussa lordhowensis), so there again no they are separate genera.
