Looks more fleshy.
A mammi%^*%&(???) maybe?

How about a pic that shows the surface a bit better. It's hard to tell by just the growing edge...

Josh, this is a bit like saying "acro?". There are many types of echinophyllia that grow in different ways and have slightly different appearances...

That's echinoPORA and different yet. Mammiformis (sp.) usually grow upright like an acro or monti digi...

BTW Ryan, did you say you got that clownfish book and don't need mine or did I dream that???

Heres somemore

It's pretty fleshy, but the closest without looking at the coral database, would be a echinophyllia aspera, as they tend to be pretty dang fleshy. let me see if I can get a pic of mine to compare...

Anyways, it's a nice piece no matter what it is.
