Hi, newbie here. ;) I got this coral yesterday from LFS. I don’t recall the name of the coral the clerk told me. I swear he said Brain coral but after research that’s definitely not it. He does have small extended polyps you can barely see as he isn’t opened up all the way. He does not extend much though.

I’d say it looks like a Gonipora :)

Definitely agree with you. Those pics helped a lot. Thanks so much! How do you care for yours? Love the fish too, I have a Snowflake.
Thanks! I’ve got a Picasso and snowflake pair. I don’t do anything special for it, but it does seem to like higher light. Be careful, it’s got a pretty bad reputation of winning coral turf wars so don’t let any other coral touch it.
