I got this about a month ago and it seems to be doing just fine, definitely growing. Not sure what it is though. Under heavy actinic it looks like someone dropped a strawberry in the tank. Does leptastrea have sweeper tentacles?

I agree, that is not a leptoseris.

Correction. I misread. oops nvm

I have never seen my leptastrea extend sweepers.

Agreed. They get very furry looking, but the shaft of the polyp never shows.
 
Looks like a flowerpot to me.
I thought so too but wasn’t really sure. So maybe Bernardpora? I’ve never seen goniopora with sweepers. The sweeper tentacles on this one don’t seem to have polyps on the end, or they're just very tiny.

This is a shot in the dark but could it be a Stylocoeniella possibly? Judging by the polyp size compared to the Goni behind it, its polyps are too small to be a Goniopora.
