No idea. Is it alive? It looks like a big clean branch of Tonga rock. Can you get a closer pic of the polyp and corallite detail?
|
Yes its alive. I will get out a better camera. This was phone cam shot
|
Does it have loosely space tiny hair like polyps? If it is a coral, the shape suggest it could be a fire coral, a member of the genus Millepora. Not to be confused with Acroprora millepora. in the genus Acropora. I will see if I can find a pic of ours, which is a brown colour, yours looks bleached.

Crappy phone pic but it gives you an idea.
It slimes & the tiny hair like polyps tend to catch bubbles. |

Well it does have polyps and corallites. But I would initially guess some type of Porites. Where did it come from?

Got it from a local reefer getting out of the hobby. It's not doing well though :( loosing skin in random spots. Getting worse every day
|
Something that thick probably need really strong flow.
|
What does the empty corallite look like?
|
looks like a blue digi encrusted over tonga rock to me

What does the skeleton look like up close. The detail in where the polyps sit, the corallites, can better determine what it is.
|
