Help with identification please.

Local fish store wasn't sure what it was, came in an order not labelled and they didn't order it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. Definitely could be. Here is a pic during acclimation if that helps.

The large protuberances are synapomorphies (basically tell tale features) of hydnophorid corals, of which there is only really Hydnophora. Tentacles look a bit strange but I trust skeletal features more than polyp appearance.

Looking at various pics online, I would say you are correct. Thanks a lot for the help.
