Anyone know what this coral is?

It came with my shipment of other corals, and was in the same bag as my purple/blue trumpet. However, it does not look like a trumpet. Any ideas?

Looks like it could be some sort of favia can't tell though.

That was my initial guess too.

I've been informed it's a toxic splatter goniastrea, which is a type of favia/favites. Now I know. ha.

Nice let us know how things turn out with it.

Slowly starting to open up, so we're getting there :)

It's gonna be real fun once it settles in , feeding them some chunky foods will make them pretty happy.

Favia, Favites, and Goniastrea are three different genera with a similar appearance. None are types of the other. Sorry, I don’t mean to be a stickler.

General care is the same though if I remember.
