I got him from a LFS she called it a lyno-something or other but I can't seem to find any coral with a name like that! I want to give it proper conditions but I can't find out what it likes without an ID!!!
Anyone?

doesn't look like my pavona, mine looks like potato chips in structure.

could it be Leptoseris?

compare it with photos of pavona decussata and see if it looks similar to them. That's what I would place my guess on.

Looks like a leptoseris. Note the long sweeper tentacles. Be sure to keep this coral a good distance from others.

> lyno-something

Hydnophora with tentacles retracted? Daytime shot?

My first guess was an encrusting Hydnophora (horn coral).
