Can anyone identify this? Cynarina?

[discented]

hey guys just picked this up from my lfs and it really hasnt opened up much but i thought it had nice color. it had just come in earlier this week. here is the picture.

The piece in the back wraps all the way around and the two little ones in front..can these be babies?

i am thinking a cynarina. if anyone else has a coral like this can u please post what it should look like when open, thanks.

p.s. this wasnt a impulse buy, it was given to me.

definatly not a cynarina....im tink blasto or a weird scholy?

ok only reason i said cynarina is cause that was on the invoice. an id would be helpful. the largest polyp seems to big to be a blasto but i could be wrong.

thanks

it is a scolymia vitensis, the color very rare. ot is very encrusting like scolymia are. I'm not a taxonomist but probably it is

Looks like a true Scolymia- the thing apparently receded at some point, and when it healed up several small polyps were left behind rather than 1 large one. The 'rock' that those polyps are on is the skeleton of the original, single large polyp.
