What is this coral and is it best fed the same way as other sps?

Trying to get an ID on this guy and the best way to feed him. I've been using reef chili.

Looks like sometype of LPS similar to platygra.

If thats the case, Reef chili is fine.

Looks like pavona, LPS. Small particle foods like reef nutrition oyster feast and reef roids

Agreed, looks like a match

Very interesting! Thank you. If it's LPS, should I give it the lower flow of LPS? Or should I keep it up in the high flow area with the other SPS?

Mid to high flow is fine.

Mid to high flow is fine.

Thanks!

+1 for med to high flow, Pavona is SPS, it's also a great beginner SPS too, pretty hardy and comes in some cool growth forms, most species like P. cactus, decussata and frondifera can really only be found in green and have a cactus like growth form, P. maldivinesis is a species that grows in more of a columnar and encrusting form and is typically bright orange, but can be found green as well in rare cases.
