ID thoughts, acanthophyllia?

[John3]

I picked this up a couple back. It was in really bad shape with 90% of its tissue gone. It’s been slowly coming back and I think it’s a acanthophyllia. I actually think it might be the same color pattern as the one posted below. What do you guys think?

It's possible, let it grow out a bit. From the frag picture, possibly bowerbanki

If you have any pictures from when you got it and more of the skeleton was exposed it might be easier to ID. I would think it's bowerbanki as well but pretty hard to tell just from the one picture.

I say Homophylia bowerbanki.

The skeleton that was showing didn’t look too much like skeleton I am used to seeing, it was almost porous rock like. I had a lobo die on me and with that one the skeleton was like rows of blades.

I guess I’m waiting to see how the rest of the tissue fills out.

Typical of meaty corals

I would venture a guess at a bowerbanki as well. Looks similar to one like mine
