Coral ID from petco

[Shibaken3]

Can I get an id for the one that is pointed?
The rim is red and the middle was green.
I'm guessing lobophyllia but it looked like it's branching so a candy cane coral??
It will be great to know what it is.
Thank you

Candy cane coral

Looks like a candy cane/trumpet coral. It is most likely Caulastrea furcata, but it could also be Astraeosmilia.

I see Lobophylia in the middle/pointed, then I see Acans, Sinularia, Kenya Tree, Montipora, and Clove Polyps. And a snail!

The corallite is too small to be a lobophyllia. The texture of the flesh isn’t right either.

This ^^^^ lol

Candy cane coral

And also this based on comparing size to the softies. If it had been by itself I would have guessed a Trachyphyllia

open brain coral

Definitely not an open brain. Corallite is too small.

Yeah, it's one of those super rare Petco that has saltwater fish that is decently maintained.

I would like to get it in white pic but it's at Petco. I would need to purchase it first. It's only 40 bucks it might be worth it if it is open brain coral. The size is about 2 inches kinda big for a candy cane. I'll try to get another picture when I stop by again.

Too small to be a Trachyphyllia. It also looks like the corallite is on a stalk, which means it’s probably phaceloid, while Trachyphyllia is flabellate or flabello-meandroid.
