What is this coral called?

[Ocean2222]

I hope this isn't what I think it is. Got it with a bunch of stuff.

What do you think it is?

So it's not a zoa?

So it's not a zoa?

It doesn't look like a Zoa. I'm thinking maybe an open brain of some variety. Maybe a Micromussa but I don't think so.

I hope your right.

I hope your right.

What's wrong with Zoas? Are you just concerned with Palytoxin?

My coral ID is rough, is it not a Favia?

 

[davidm777]

When unsure just call it some sort of Favia

Thatnwas my first thought but the separated heads is throwing me off a bit.

I guess I meant closed brain, not open brain.

I think it's best to be open minded ..... :)

It looks like my favia where the heads are separated too. Doesn’t mean I’m right, of course!

 

[Ocean2222]

Does anyone know for?

 

[tbrown]

Whatever it is, medium light, medium flow. It'll benefit some from supplemental feeding.

Most likely a Dragon Soul Favia but the heads usually touch more than yours are which is why the hesitation.

 

[tbrown]

Put it about halfway down the rock work, they can handle semi-shaded (usually the darker colors require less light to maintain the dark colors or they'll start lightening up). They don't want the powerhead hitting them directly but it needs to float food across them and direct the detritus away from them.

I took a pic in white light. Does this help?
