Coral ID Please

[Cari]

Hello all! Hope I’m in the right place for this coral. I need help with ID, placement and any particular care. I think the LFS said some type goniopora, but not sure.

Thanks!

Looks like Monti digi

Is it retracted? Could be Stylophora

Is it all the way open? Skeleton doesn’t seem to follow typical flat pattern but I did see there’s a type of branching gonipora. My guess is Porites.

It’s not retracted, the polyps are very small. They do look somewhat like mini “flowers”, color is white if that helps.

Definitely some sort of SPS vs LPS. You could try the SPS forum and see if anyone there has an ID. I think it could be Porites but I’m no expert!

So Porites are SPS, right?

Yes SPS, all of the mentioned possible IDs are SPS

Ok thanks!
