Hi everyone!

I need some help identifying this coral. Under the blue light it gets green and small polyps turn orange. The lights were off this morning before I left to the office. I received this coral a free from an order from AquaSd.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Does this coral has palytoxin?

nope, you’re thinking of palythoas…
those aren’t stony corals, they’re a type of zoa.
(it’s definitely a montipora btw)

Thanks a lot!

I don't think it's a monti but need clearer pics.

Does it look like this when it's open?

Hi, I'll take some new pictures when I get home this afternoon. I received the coral yesterday from aqua sd as a freebie from my order.

Hi all,

I ended up calling the store and they confirmed that the coral is a montipora!!!
Thank everyone!

Not Cyphastrea; notice corallites aren't exert and the presence of tuberculae, not coenosteal spinules
