Hey there folks, I picked up this coral from a maintenance that bought it and put it in his tank only for it to brought to deaths door, I was able to nurse it back to health and I don't really know what kind of coral it is so any help would be nice.

Looks like an acan but I’m not sure which one exactly.

Blue acan lord

You think so? I have some acans and this one doesn't seem to have that same puffiness the polyps as any of my other acans. Thanks for the responses! @vetteguy53081 @Brad_95

Now that I am home and see an image larger than on a phone screen, may be Bowerbanki

The ridged lining of the outer flesh is a common identifier, but if you can, get a few more angled shots under blue light I might be able to work out any cousin species

My best guess is that it is an acanthastrea echinata, with a blue/green morph. Pretty cool coral if you ask me.

Here's some pictures in different lighting so you can get a better idea. Thanks guys

I think it’s a type of favia.
