whats the difference between the 2

Nice info in this species highlight! I have a question, how do you destinguish between the A. lordhowensisand, a A. enchinata, and a A bowerbankii?

I believe it is an A. echinata, but it was only IDed as such through pictures on the internet, so feel to disagree.

I'd agree that its an A. echinata, and yes they should touch nothing else. Unless you want something dead, mines taken out a plating monti(stupid crab knocked the frag right on top of mine...stupid crab) killed a few zoas, attacked my colt coral before I sold it, and so on and so forth. But its just so nice to look at.
