What kind of coral is this???

[mochaclownlover]

Bought this coral a few months ago and was wondering what kind of coral it was. Sorry the pics are blurry, will try to get some more tomorrow when the lights come on.

Probably Favia or Favites

Favites would be my guess.

Could also be a Platygyra, but I am leaning towards Favid/Favia.

Looks like a facial to me as well

Sorry again for the blurry pics, but wanted to ask if the little bit of white on the right side of the favia is bleaching/dieing?

Too hard to tell from the pic honestly. They acclimate to be one of the highest light corals I have. It looks like it will color up to be like the big green one I have in my tank thread. Does it get long sweepers at night?

I think it is a favia....favites do not have such defined ridges between the eyes

Favia

Yes it has very long sweepers tentacles at night. I usually feed it every other week.

The stick is pointing at the spots on the coral that appear whiter.

Actually, the difference between favia and favites is favites has shared corallite walls, whereas favia are separate. Therefore, this cannot be a favia.

It looks like platygyra in the last photo (top down).
