Unknown coral id

[Kmst80]

I picked up this branching coral today, Lfs couldn't tell me what it was.
After a bit of research I think it might be a Echinopora of some sort?
Input very welcome.
It's a stony coral, wasn't very slimy handling it. Got told it likes stinging, might mean sweeper pollyps?

Branching Cyphastrea maybe

Branching Cyphastrea maybe

We were talking about that in the shop ,the Lfs thought that at first too but reckons it's not.

Look at echinopora horrida

Look at echinopora horrida

Thats exactly what i was thinking

I think it isn’t E. horrida but E. mammiformis.

Whatever species it is, it’s a very nice find!

ooh OOH, I've got this one. It's Echinopora mammiformis, I LOVE this species. It's the first time I've seen it in aquarium though

 

[thamnasteroid]

Look at echinopora horrida

not horrida, note lack of coenosteal spinules

Branching Cyphastrea maybe

not Cyphastrea decadia, branches too large

Poor thing! Definitely not a looker!
