If the corallite structure and growth form is vastly different, then it is likely that this is not the same species.
To me, the coral pictured appears to have a staghorn growth form. It does not appear to be consistent with either A. microclados or A. prostrata which have corymbose growth forms and distinct corallites.
We will need to see closer, clearer images of the skeleton to give a viable ID.
