Hey, Can anyone tell me what kind of coral this is?

I have had it in my tank for awhile and it doesn't seem to be growing at all. It was sold to me as a moon coral.

It is possibly an enchinophyllia which falls under the chalice family.... hard to tell but just going by the irregular growth pattern and high ridges make me guess that. Enchinophyllia's tend to have larger mouths than the other chalices.

Is the care for enchinophyllia different than regular chalice corals?
