This coral is pretty. It has fluorescent orange polyps at the end tubes. I have no clue what it's name is.

Hard to tell from the picture...maybe zoas? Could be coppers:

Does it have a skeleton? They do look like zoas.

What do you mean by a skeleton? It has a stony backing that the stony tube which the disk come out of. Disk does not get much bigger then the opening of the stony tube.

A skeleton like what I think you're describing. There's stony tubes that the orange polyps come out of?
Alright, I'm going to say it's a Turbinaria sp. My first thought was Cyphastrea but those "tubes" look smooth. The color is weird, though. What does it look like under white light?

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

My thought would be Cyphastrea as well.

 

[Michael Joye]

under white light the base is dark red and disk is duller orange

Cyphastrea

With those colors, Cyphastrea serailia is my guess.

 

[Michael Joye]

Do they have same requirements as other Cyphastrea?

 

[AcroNem]

A lot of the color types we see are that species, requirements will be the same or similar.
