So i received this green brain coral today on a trade for a colony of my eagle eye zoas. I decided i want a project and see if i can get it to fill out all the way again. This thing is about 8" in diameter. So here is the start to a long process. I need a slow project as i got the "if you buy one more thing..." speech haha.

Looks to be either a Favites or Goniastrea. Mod lighting and flow, feed that boulder the appropriate meaty sea foods and maintain a steady alk. Looks to be an excellent candidate for rehab. :-)
 
Looks lile favites to me also. Looks like u have a good candidate there.
 
A quick update to this project over a year later and going through a tank swap this beauty has been doing great.
 
Probably been a little better had I moved it to this tank sooner as this tank has done great just in the two months I have had it up
