The lfs said it starts with a P i hope that helps lol she didn't know the name either

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Looks to have 24 "fingers" per skirt as a goniopora does. How does the skeleton look or is it just a softie with no skeleton?
Couple random Google pics I pulled that look pretty similar. Their colors vary a good bit from green to purple to brown and a few others.
I may be wrong though. It's been known to happen. Lol

Yeah it has a skeleton structure underneath and the soft park is like matting over it the center of each skirt is stony

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Have you seen any long clear feeder tentacles extend? My other shot in the dark would be galaxea with it being said each head has a stony center.

 

[Zaxsaid]

Haven't tried to feed it yet just got it last night I'll try now and see also send a pic if it'll help

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Looks like the only fleashy part is the tentacles haha I do appreciate the help thanks

So this is what we know so far it mats over has tentacles that move has a skeleton as well

 

[Zaxsaid]

Only thing I could see extending are the tentacles but that's all

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Hahaha will do man lol [emoji23], I could always call the LFS see if they finally figured it out but I honestly do hope it's not goniopora ive read that many people don't have success with that coral

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

I had an alveopora that looked great to start, but flopped within 6 months. Still don't know what cause was.
