Plz help me coral ID

[tri989]

Can u tell me this ID coral? And some experience to take care this coral. Thanks for reading

Some kind of Acropora...Globiceps perhaps! They are very demanding and not really suitable nor recommended to beginners or aquarists without much experience it’s SPS corals.

I have never heard of this coral before. Thanks for sharing.
That coral looks huge

Got any more pics? I'm not really convinced thats an acro. I've seen some super fuzzy Tenuis, but I don't really see any branch tips or axial corallites on that piece.

pavona maldivensis

I have hunch it's a Pocillopora sp. (Aussie maybe?)

Can we see the underside or side of the coral? There is no point of reference it's all just polyps haha.

I looked up globiceps and that coral up there looks like it.

Only thing wrong with A. Globiceps is they do not have polyps like that piece. I agree, a photo from the under side or with polyps retracted would help ID.

Cant tell, need a better pic as said. White light only or use a brown or orange filter, get the polyps to retract and take a pic with them open and retracted.

I add new picture of my sps coral

That's better, definitely some sort of tabling acro, hyanthicus like. I am no good with I'd on these type of acros.

 

[29bonsaireef]

Much better pics. I'm just gonna go ahead and say A. Sarmentosa. Could be wrong but looks like it to me.

 

[Graffiti Spot]

Yeah I would agree it does look like it could be a sarmentosa.
