I bought some acans from an online shop and they sent me a freebie coral but didn't say what it was. I love it though and hoping someone can ID it for me (orange one). Thanks!

On second thought, I agree its a florida. It looks a little less inflated but should puff up as time goes on.

Looks like a scrunched Ricordea florida. Might want to be lower in the tank, they don't like much light.

Thanks everyone! I just placed them 2 days ago so I'll give it a little more time but if it still looks scrunched, Ill move it elsewhere. Seems like low par low flow is the key for these guys?

Yep, that's about right. Supposed to be pretty hardy, though I haven't had luck with them. Might just be me.
