Heey reefers, Happy Halloweeen!

Whats your best guess on this beauty??

Its BRIGHT electric green!!

I dont think its a letposeris because of the structure of the ridges,

I dont think its a pachyseris also because it has a very different structure along its ridges as well.

Thanks peeps hope you have a spooky night!

It is Pavona
 
I'm guessing Pavona decussata (sp?)

@motortrendz if yours is smoother and thinner lobes checkout P. cactus
Yup your right I think this is a cactus pavona now that I'm looking them up. Not sure what type mine is. mines very thin and doesnt have the PE like the OPs
 
Make sure you really love that coral. They are virtually impossible to kill and will overgrow ANYTHING. The bane of my existence, I wish I never got one.- also they throw vicious sweeper tentacles up to a few inches long, evil buggers.

I think pavona is pretty neat, but you are not wrong, it's a very resilient coral, great choice for those new to SPS, but treat it like GSP
