Deepwater? Id please

[Primetime33]

Would someone please ID this coral? All shots taken under actinics. I finally was able to get a shot without any polyp extension. Hopefully that makes it easier to identify.

Thank you in advance.

Not certain, but I suspect that is A. carduus. Most of the echinata group of species are very similar in fotos. Another possibility may be A. awi or A. navini, but they are a bit more filigrain in the first and the second more compact.
