I saw this coral at my LFS and was wondering what it is. A person working there said it was a cyphastrea but it doesn't look like one. Can someone identify these for me please?

Looks sort of like a washed out meteor shower cyphastrea

Cyphastrea

Notice how the polyps are close together unlike cyphastrea

Without seeing the polyps extended, it’s nearly impossible to say with certainty what it is.

I have 2 cyphastrea in my tank where the polyps are close together.

I have went to the shop on 2 different days and it always looked like this when I saw it.

Can I see a picture?

Google image search can show plenty if cyphastrea with polyps close together. Feel that's more of a growth pattern than species trait. Still vote for meteor shower
