That kinda doesn't look like an acan.

Probably acan echinata.

Chiefmcfuz · 05-11-2008, 10:20 PM

Top down pic would be3 more helpful but I agree with josh if it's an acan it's an enchinata

Lolli631 · 05-11-2008, 10:24 PM

I googled Acanthastrea echinata and it looks pretty close. Lights are out now, will get top down shot tommorrow.
