I was at a pet store and the owner was going to get rid of this little guy. And I offered to take him home if she was just going to throw him away and so she agreed. Anyways she didn't know much about it and so I brought the little critter on home with me. I do my research before buying anything but I didn't want to see this little guy getting thrown in the trash. I took extra precaution after getting him home and dipped it twice. So if anyone out there know what it is or any information about it, I'd greatly appreciate it!!

It's a large polyp coral of some sort, could be Acan or Favia, or any number of lps. Look around at the link below and see if you see a match.

LPS Corals: LPS Stony Corals and other Hard Corals for the Aquarium

Concentrate on keeping your calcium/alk/mag in check, supplemental feedings and it should make a nice come back. The coral has nice color.
