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

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?

My thought would be Cyphastrea as well.

under white light the base is dark red and disk is duller orange
With those colors, Cyphastrea serailia is my guess.

Do they have same requirements as other Cyphastrea?
A lot of the color types we see are that species, requirements will be the same or similar.
