What conditions do these like high medium low flow where do they sit in the tank at the bottom. Or

+1 @Tahoe61 , looks like Avleopora.

It's a flowerpot.

Could be goniopora if 24 tentacles. Or avleopora if 12 tentacles. If you just introduced. Should open up in a day or so. If it does not. It is not happy.

 

[mcmunn93]

Yeah it's opened up good now looks amazing

 

[Myka]

Post a pic opened up...? Looks like Goniopora.

 

[Tahoe61]

This is a pic when lights just settling for night I'll send a pic during the day.

When the lights are on and tentacles are out. Will be able to determine which it is. Care is about the same. Avleopora generally like water a bit cooler. And will parish in less than a year if too warm. I find gonipora more hardy.

Does yours look like post #9 (see link below).

Goniopora (noticed lots of tentacles on each polyp):

This is another photo of a Goniopora partially closed, and same color as yours (very common Goni color):

Alveopora (notice half as many tentacles on each polyp):

Here is an Alveopora partially closed up, similar color as frag in question:

It looks like it is a gonipora. But is not realy extended or open. If your water perimeters are in check. You may want to try moving it in your tank. Try different lighting intensity.
