Was on vacation at the beach, and the hotel had this little coral skeleton decoration, which I thought looked so cool!

Anyone know what type of coral this is?!

Pocillopora. . . Not sure exactly species though, elegens or meangrina maybe? . . .

EDIT: could also be a stylophora. . . Looks similar to Stylophora pistillata. . .

Know where it was collected?

I'll call the expert
