Hey, this coral was sold as a Leptoseris. I am not convinced. When open it looks like some sort of zoa but when closed it’s definitely stony. Any thoughts?

Definitely doesn’t look happy. It looks very similar shape to the top picture. I would say it very well could be a lepto but would need a better pic….

I made It retract to show the stony part so you guys wouldn’t just be like “thats a zoa” hahaha
