Coral ID. Cyphastrea?

[JediCruz]

I bought this, what I believe is, cyphastrea coral from Living Reef Orlando. Don’t think the guy that pulled it knew what it was (said he thought it was a type of Lepto) and it was in the $10 section. Does everyone agree? It could be a Stylocoeniella but the polyps are close to the skeleton so even though in high flow stylo’s stay like that, I still think it’s Cyphastrea.

Peppermint. Sounds right. I didn’t have a chance to find all the different variants and colormorphs but the coloring would leave me to believe that someone would call it that. Time to look it up!

@vetteguy53081 After researching, I think your right. The red is starting to show up more in my tank so I really think that’s it. Thanks!
