14 possibly. This the finger leather it came from. The lfs never gave me more than finger leather. So maybe these additional pics can help with species of leather

 

[MixedFruitBasket]

Sinulara flexibilis I believe.

 

[DSC reef]

#9 looks to be a cynarina

 

[DSC reef]

Does #2 have a skeleton, has a strong resemblance to a BTA. Agree with the other ID's

 

[C. Eymann]

Could be a nepthya

#9 looks to be a cynarina

I always thought cynarina had more of a translucent "bubbly" skirt, where has acanthophyllia has a more ruffled skirt like OPs?

Cynarina on top, Acanthophyllia bottom




Edit :nevermind I see it now, I think you maybe right about it being cynarina.

The OP pic looks just like the cynarina to me.

I do see it now, and believe you maybe right.

 

[ScottR]

9 definitely cynarina.

 

[sfin52]

Sinulara flexibilis I believe.

I believe you are right on the leather. All the pics look like it.
