Hi, I just acquired this piece of coral and needed to know the name of it. Can anyone shed me some lights?

I'm thinking it's a type of brain coral, but do they have a name? Thanks

Looks like an acan echinata
+1 Make sure it has room. I had one that would eat/melt corals ~1 inch away. This included acans which look like they are close. The pagoda cup and the echinata might be at war in that picture. Hard to tell.

Sorry for the blurry picture, taken with my phone. :)

Thanks, now that I look at my other Acan Enchinata, they do have the similarity.

Kano, thanks, I'll move the pagoda cup away as I've seen some of the polyps has been shrivel up. Thanks all.
