Coral ID Needed

[nautical_nathaniel]

I recently got this neat looking coral and I need a ID on it. LFS guy wasn't sure what it was but it was cheap so I decided to get it anyways. Here it is:

Right now I have in the sand bed acclimating it to my lighting but my hopes are that it has a higher lighting tolerance and can go towards the top of my aquascape where I have an open spot. I was going to get some sort of encrusting montipora or cyphastrea but I've been having trouble finding any and didn't feel like ordering frags :rolleyes:

I've seen it called "Pacycyris" but that was on one website that I visit from time to time. I want to see what other's have.

Ding ding ding! Thanks @DSC reef and @Flexin

Seems to like moderate-high lighting, moderate-strong flow, and is not known to be overly aggressive to other corals, sweet. :)

Congrats on that find. They remind me of old transistors and wires the way the grooves run.
