I believe it was marked wrong at the LFS

How was it marked?

Looks like yellow porites

Sorry forgot to add that! They had it as Pagoda, thought Pagoda where more of a cup shape.

Pagoda coral is cup shaped or flat with large polyps making it an LPS. Your coral is branching, definitely not pagoda. Does it look like this?

It has a pavona maldevinsis look too it.

Yes, googled that a it looks a lot like the green Pavona Makevinsis... Makes perfect sense now! Pagoda -- Pavona. I can see how that may have been misinterpreted from one person to another.

Your welcome, that's a nice coral.

Your welcome, that's a nice coral.

Thanks.... I have it about 6" for the bottom of a 75 gallon. I'm currently running 3 Kessil a160we and its pretty much directly below one. I'll be added 2 T5s later this month. Have added a couple few more Acrporas and Montiporas, so I feel I need a little better coverage.

Either Porites or Pavona, Interesting to see what it looks like once polyps come out

Sounds like a nice spot for it, pavona does not require a lot of light so you'll be fine

+1 on it being P. maldivinesis

IME green is usually more rare in the hobby than the orange variety.

Nice pickup!
