It looks like it's similar to an acan but not the acan lord or micrummsia but here is a pick.

With the blues on it glows purple green and orange, I'm embarrassed I don't know the exact species considering I've been doing this over a decade but I just like to know exactly what corals I have. Thanks

If it inflates at all that would help, it does just look like an upset Micromussa lordhowensis right now. But could be a few others. I don't think it's A. echinata, these corallites have a more defined wall that echinata doesn't. Unless those polyps are much larger than it looks like I don't think it's H. bowerbanki either, although their corallites are very similar. I'll ask for a better picture as well, it will help :)
