It’s a little hard to tell since it looks like it’s still closed up a bit, but that looks like an encrusting hydnophora. They’re very pretty and hardy for an SPS, but they’re also aggressive, so be careful how close you put it to other coral.Hello! I picked out a coral today but am a bit unsure what exact type it is. Any help with identifying what it is would be greatly appreciated! It’s definitely hard to the touch as well if that helps at all.
Thank you!
They’re not too picky, and they’re one of the easiest sps. They are not picky like acros. They can tolerate moderate to high flow and light. Most sps except cyphastrea and leptoseris like or tolerate high light and flow. I’m not sure what lights you’re running, but to be on the safe side, I would start it low with a good amount of flow to acclimate it to your lights. Then you can move it up. You may want to isolate it because it will start encrusting your rock scape, and they can send out pretty long sweepers that will do a number on most corals
