Hey everyone,

I got gifted this LPS at my LFS yesterday and would love to know what it's called so I can research some care for it!

It seems to be encrusting as the base is the same colour as the polyps(green). The polyps were completely retracted yesterday when I got it home.

Thanks in advance

Looks blue to me. Need to see the base more to properly identify. Gonipora maybe, but I need better light for a better guess.
 
Sorry, I've reduced the blue light for better pics.

I don't think it's Gonipora based on seeing them before
