Just scored this Pagoda coral yesterday and didn’t know much about them so if you have pics of yours and some tips about keeping them please share, thank you.

The polyps are small , I thought it was a SPS when I got it but somebody on reef2reef said it’s a pagoda. Pretty neat looking coral.

It looks more like a Scroll coral or something similar to that as opposed to a Pagoda Cup IMO. The polyps on a Pagoda Cup are usually much bigger. It's a pretty undemanding coral though regardless. Moderate lighting & flow seems to suit these corals best. Sort of a set it and forget piece. GL.

I think you nailed it, definitely looks like a scroll coral. The only problem with free corals sometimes is figuring out what kind they are lol.
