Help ID these

[stevo01]

Can you turn the piece around in the tank and take an image with the unknown more illuminated. Still looks like an LPS to me, could be a soft coral but it does not look like an sps to me. I only ask because you have requested an ID. :)

And it could very well be an lps but its got smaller polyps than cyphastrea. Maybe half the size.

Pocillopora?

Pocillopora?

Possibly lol

This is definitely not showing any signs of branching.

Possibly lol

Take a little while to figure out what it is.

 

[stevo01]

I don't think pocillipora or montastrea.

Steve don't worry about that:D. Sit back and relax;)

Thanks KJ! Don't know if it helps but it looks like this. The upper colony.

Much better image thanks, still looks like Montastraea cavernosa, otherwise known as a star coral.

Ive been busy but this weekend ill get a proper picture maybe take it completely out of the water for a picture too.

So I got a positive I'D on this coral. It's Leptastrea, for anyone that needed closure lol.
