Hi,

Local fish store gave me this coral as it is not doing well. Not sure what it is, sorry for the picture quality. The skeleton has almost a ruffled appearance to it with polyps that seem almost like a cross between a zoa and a goniopora. Thoughts on what it might be or care requirements. Looks more orange than shown in the picture for what it's worth. Thanks.

Will have to try tomorrow when the lighting is better. Thinking maybe some kind of cyphastrea.

Hopefully a bit better pic. Still seems most likely a leptastrea. Maybe it was growing over the skeleton of something else. Orange seems common for a leptastrea.
