Modern Coral

[Fishinwall]

I bought this coral at the local fish store and it was labeled as Modern Coral. But I can't find much on this name. Is it correct and what is the scientific name?

Possibly a species of cynaria. I have on occasion heard of them referred to as "modern tooth coral".

This is the pic from the first day in tank... It is deflated. You sure it's not scolymia?

Looks more like this, I think, than cynarina
