Not new to reefing but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had a coral tank (12yrs to be exact). My new tank has been up and running for months now. 140g with 40g sump fish and coral tank. Corals are all frags so it’s hurry up and wait time. So many new variants of coral since I left the hobby, which leads me to my question. Got this guy from a LFS who said it was a bubble LPS just not fully inflated. I didn’t want to call him on it and I liked the coral for the price but it looks more like an elegance coral possible an Aussie variety? Thoughts? Pay no attention to the hitchhiker zoas.

Welcome back! I've been back in for 17 months after a 30 year break. I may as well of never been in it. Good group of people on here. Most are extremely helpful. You'll get those frags to colonies soon enough
