Coral id help please

[pilot108]

This coral was given to me about 2 years ago and I’ve never figured out what kind it is.
The coral is about 5” dia and has 6”-8” sweepers that come out at night.
Any input would be appreciated thanks

Interesting. Some sort of LPS? Curious to find out as I am not sure.

Also, Ohio, huh. Where abouts?

I should mention too it has a hard plate like skeleton.

I was thinking lps too.
I’m in Medina County. And you?

I live in Akron. If you're ever around the area, shoot me a message. Always into trading/buying/selling coral.

I'm thinking a type of pectinia

Thanks for all the responses I’m thinking it is some type of pectinia as well. Here are a few photos of it with the sweepers out. Does anyone else have a pectinia that looks like this at night?

Yep. Plating Pectinia. All the Pectinia's look like that at night. I hope you have room to keep it far away from anything you value! :eek:
