Coral ID

Alotadollars · 09/17/2017, 07:59 PM

Hello
I'm new to the forum and salt water tanks. I have a coral that I purchased and the guy working at my lfs sold me and couldn't name it. Anyone help me with the name so I know how to take care of It?

Thanks

Candy cane or favia? Does it have a skeleton when closed?

Here is a better picture. Hard to keep it to size to be able to upload. It's on a flat rock so don't think it's candy cane. Each head are close to size of sliver dollars

And that is closed as it gets. Ooen has a few small tenticals that rise around mouth
