Please help me ID this coral

[Oleshp]

I purchased this coral from my LFS and I'm not sure what it is. I am pretty new to keeping coral and my last experience didn't go so well. Any help with ID and tips on how to care for it would be appreciated.

It is about 4-5" and seems to accept frozen brine/mysis out of a pipette.

Trachyphyllia brain coral.

Thanks! Any special care requirements? I think I got it at a decent price ($60), but I want it to thrive and grow in my tank so I can talk the wife into letting me get more coral!

Fairly easy to care for. Moderate light, flow. Keep it away from sharp rocks or fish/inverts that will pick at it. If the flesh gets torn it seems to decrease survival rates. It's more of a shower than a grower. They don't really reproduce or grow much in tanks that I've seen.

Yes. Sounds like a good way to feed it.
