Need help identifying this.

Hey all, I picked up a coral from my LFS today but for the life of me I can't remember what he called it. I think I'm in the right sub-forum due to what it looks like but if not please direct me where to go.

This coral is on a solid base but those "flowers" extend out almost 2, maybe even 3 inches. When I was at the LFS they were out around maybe an inch or more and he said it would double in length, but he had just turned the lights on shortly before I got there so that is why I wasn't able to see the full length. I'd like to figure out what it is so I can make sure and give it the best location.

Thanks ahead of time.

Not a zoa. Possibly an alveopora...

You're very welcome

Now I have to move it lol. I placed it at the top with enough room to expand between it and the top of the water but apparently they don't like high light. And it also apparently has sweeper tentacles so I need to be mindful of that as well.

Thanks again.

It didn't seem like there were 24 "petals"

Yeah when it was at the LFS it didn't seem to have that many petals.

Alveopora probably
