Bought the coral for an amazing price at a coral store. All I know is it’s LPS and it’s crusting other than that. I have no idea what it is. I would love to know what it is.

Looking to the right of the coral, it looks like a flower with 6 petals. I’m gonna guess alveopora?.

Make sure to keep it far away from other corals. It's feeders can reach out up to 5-6" and will kill most corals.
