echino or Oxypora?

[deep6er]

I posted this in the ID forum but I only got 1 reply. The person said it might be enchino or Oxypora. I have looked at some pictures and dont see any similarity's. And I still have no idea what this is.
If someone could help me ID this peice it would be great. And if you know of the proper care of it aswell that would help too. I dont want to kill it it is a nice coral.
Thank you

hey there, i have a colony very similar that i got from Clint at Diamonds in the reef. It is a species of echino. both are doing well with low light and moderate flow. Oxypora is somewhat similar, but the eyes are smaller. I've seen many echino species where the eyes are really elevated and "lumpy" like yours. Hope this helps. Whatever it is, its a really nice colony. Al

WOw thanks so much for the info Al. I had better move it to a darker side of the tank.

Yeah, I have to big echino colonies. they are on the bottom, off to the left and right side of the tank. I have a 90gallon display with 2 250watt 20k MH, and they do fine, I just keep moderate flow in the tank with my vortek, enough to keep debris off of them. good luck, Al
