Coral ID, please? :D

[alixbreeden]

I just got this coral today, and the guy had told me the name of it, but it was rather long and it slipped my memory. Any chance someone else would know?
It won't let me post a full link or a photo, because I haven't posted enough, but any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a FAVIA to me. looks really cool

 

[alixbreeden]

I'm actually certain that it's not favia. I wish I had other information to work off of. This was the only time I've seen this coral. I looked for it online, in other stores, etc., and could not find a single thing even remotely similar to it. For it's tiny size, it was rather expensive, and apparently rare. Other than that, I have no idea what this guy is. Haha.

Here's another photo. The coral hasn't been in my tank very long, but it's starting to open up slowly. Such an odd, but beautiful coral.

Looks like a favia to me as we'll like this. Brain Coral, Pineapple
If not favia.....perhaps a form of micromussa??

Looks like a goniopora with its polyps in but its hard to tell.

This is the most open it has been so far today. It could possibly be that. Are they LPS as well?

 

[ak_reefer]

Yes they are LPS.

I agree with goniapora

 

[leena2674]

If not Goniopora, I would say Alveopora. Difficult to tell without the polyps all the way extended.

Alevopora, it has 12 tentacles on each polyp rather than 24 found with Goniopora.
