Ordered my CUC from Whitlyn Aquatics and a Sapphire damsel. They did not have a damsel left so I told them to pick a random frag and they sent me this WA Peeps Gonoastrea.

That’s a Dipsastraea (ex-Favia), not a Goniastrea. True Goniastrea are actually pretty rare in the hobby, as most specimens have pretty dull coloration.

I'm a sucker for these corals and it seems like no one has made one of these yet. I think they're so incredibly under appreciated for the amount of color they provide to the reef and how easy they tend to be to grow!
Make sure to post your pics and names of your pieces in this thread too!
