There aren't any decent pictures of E. corallioides on the Net, though (at least, none that I can find) so I'd be grateful for opinions either way?



Thanks in advance for any help provided
I found one picture that looks quite similar to your plant and it does seem to fit the description of E corallioides. I think you are probably right
