id please (echinata-ish or brain-ish?)

[greystreet41]

LFS pick up...they told me it was an acan echinata, but I think it's just a brain type. The purple is more purple than indicated in the image. It's agressive. Sent out some tentacles about 1-2 inches out and lit up a platygyra pretty good.

i can never tell the differance betweel acan hillae (which is what I thought that was) and acan echinata. I think that part of the reason is because they are so often misidentified online. I am piggycacking on this to see the id.

I dont have a working knowledge to differentiate between echinata,sub-echinata, and hillae, but its definately an acanthastrea My guess would be echinata though.
