I have bought a tank off someone and it had this coral w/dames and live rock. I am going to use this tank for my coral quarantine. Could someone please help me ID this one as I am new to this.

Its a yumma recordia. Slower grower will split its foot and start new ones. Mine just started splitting after 2 yrs in the tank.

yep 100% Ricordea yuma. It looks to be all one color, but if you shine bright blues on it it'll probably have some neon in it. One of my personal favorite corals.
