The red variety seems to be hardier than other types. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-10/nftt/index.php http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2005/10/aafeature2 I am not entirely sure that is what it is, but that is my best guess based on the images. Other considerations might be Galaxea or Turbinaria.
