    Anybody got a down and dirty or simplified way of telling echinophyllia from oxypora - heck throw echinopora in there too. LFS throws the "chalice" coral name around too much i think. Any input would be appreciated.

    echinophyllia is encrusting I believe and oxypora is plating. I could be wrong
