Hello everyone! Hoping someone can ID this for me. Is it a Pavona Encrusting?

Pavona maldivensis

Thanks! I don’t think the shop actually knew what it was :-) it’s only been in my quarantine tank for about 30 minutes but seems to be happy. $80 bucks and I was a pretty good size colony!

Agreed. I have acres of the stuff. Can acclimate to any light value you throw at it. Slowly.

Thanks and that’s great to hear! I currently have all softies and LPS for the most part. I am running radian gen 5 pros at 55%, so pretty low PAR for the tank. Planning on placing these just over half way up the water column. Will make sure to use the acclimate function as usual.
Thanks again!
