Found this guy at the local petco. Looked interesting so thought I’d save it…lol…
But they had no idea what it was. Said something something polyp, lol.
I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere. Kind of a cross between a Goni, a zoa, a torch, and sorta rock flowerish.
It’s looking a thousand times better today in the photo than it did.
Thanks for any insight.

Looks like "hedgehog" galaxia coral.
Aw nuts…there’s a reason I didn’t recognize it; I’ve totally skipped galaxea’s for their sting. Guess I’ll have to research their habits now! Lol.
Thank you. Helped tremendously.
Looks like TSA Mardi Gras too. Probably same thing, just different trade name.

I have a few of these. They aren't too bad. They will get some sweepers, so just make sure not to put them next to your favorite coral. But they are nice to look at, and pretty hardy as well.
