Possibly an acan bowerbanki? Those can get pretty thick and they do look very much like a fleshy, puffed-up lord. They can have interesting color patterns, though I've not seen one with the striping that you have on yours.

I may be wrong but am fairly certain that is not platygyra. Personally the more i see it the more convinced I am it is a button scoly.So, I came across some "neon green platygyra" and feel like these are the most similar to what my coral looks like. This is obviously not my photo, but was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on this? The coloration looks the most similar to mine that I can find, but still not sure.
Cool. Thanks. It has been a debate in my house for a while now.I may be wrong but am fairly certain that is not platygyra. Personally the more i see it the more convinced I am it is a button scoly.
That's awesome. I looked it up, and it sure does look like that! I searched everywhere for the last month and couldn't find anything similar to the Mayan Sun Coral. Thanks. I really think this is the answer.mayan sun Favia..It's the pattern.many different color variants of the mayan sun
One of these days,I'm going to pick one up. Favia's and platygyra maze brains are my favorites.They come in a rainbow of different colors and patterns.Your's looks good and healthy. They are a slower grower, but feeding them helps.That's awesome. I looked it up, and it sure does look like that!

It is really unique. That's why I bought it. Although wasn't quite sure what it was.One of these days,I'm going to pick one up.

The one polyp is about 2.5-3cm (around 1.5 inches). The edges of it are fleshy and do not grow down towards the frag plug like other acans and favias that I have.Platygyra is a 'maze brain,' so that doesn't look right. About how big is it?
My guess is still Lobo or Acan Maxima.Since I said I would get some photos with the feeder tentacles, here they are.. This is a terrible color picture because it was dark in the room, so I just turned on the room light to take the picture. As soon as I turned on the blue light to try to get a picture, it started closing.

Usually size isn't the best tool to use for taxonomy. But, a 1 1/2" polyp would rule out Favia/Favites/Goniastrea or Acan echinata and some others.The one polyp is about 2.5-3cm (around 1.5 inches).

Lots of favia/goniastrea will extend quite a bit under the correct parameters. If very "happy" they can get pretty huge. Not so much favites thoughUsually size isn't the best tool to use for taxonomy. But, a 1 1/2" polyp would rule out Favia/Favites/Goniastrea or Acan echinata and some others.
The good news is that care for all brain-like LPS is basically the same.
