Hi

Could anyone identify this coral for me please?

In the album labelled "Akumal".

I found it off the Yucatan peninsular in Mexico at a
depth of about 10 meters. The colony was encrusting
and about 50 cm diameter. The deep ridges were similar
to that of Meandrina meandrites but formed enclosed
rings unlike M. meandrites.

Thanks
Marion
