Help figuring ouy this mystery coral?

[Rijodan]

I got this a month ago from the lfs and other than it be a "supernatural" encrusting coral i didn't get any other information about it. Probably should have asked more questions but I was excited as always at the coral store.

Mainly I want to know the type so I know how to care for it best. It does seem to be more of small polyps that open like flowers then having the tentacles like favias and acans.

Tank light is mostly blue white and taken with a macro lens with a 20k filter and color adjusted on phone to 6500k and increased temperature.

Looks like a favia to me

Probably a favia... it is a LPS and you might get a better ID in the LPS forum.

Thanks!

Wouldn't be a favia, if anything it would be a favites, but the polyps on yours are way too small to be a favites

I believe what you have there is actually Leptastera.

Awesome man. Quick google search shows many that look just like it in different colors
