What type of coral or what name is this coral ???

[BlazerPR]

I wanted to know who knows the name of this coral cause is like a short short tentacle Goni but I’m trying to look her up and doesn’t show anywhere

Hey can you bump your white lights up for the pick and try to get a bit closer?

Looks like it might be a galaxea? Could you post a picture closer and under white lights

 

[Slocke]

I think it’s a goniopora or close relative. Galaxea don’t have tubes but rather is flush on the skeleton.

Goniopora that's not doing so well

Not Galaxea; notice how the skeleton is cerioid, not plocoid/subphaceloid. The polyps are also on stalks, and the tentacles are all in a single cycle, not two or three like in Galaxea.

For like a month but it was in a display tank at a store for years and we bought it after asking for her for a while lol

 

[BlazerPR]

They all come out nice but I recently just dosed the tank ab + and I fed them yesterday mayb that’s why she’s not fully out but she is super picky tho some days she is out and about and other days she is like don’t even look at me

It's a little closed up. Maybe it's just adjusting though; IDK.

Yeah, I think what you have there is a Goni that’s adjusting to your tank. Sometimes it could take up to a month for a Coral to adjust to the new water chemistry of a tank. Typically, whenever I introduce gonis into my tank, it can take them up to a week and a half to even have the poly extend a little bit, about a month later, they become nearly bulletproof.

Just give it time and don’t fret too much about it, as long as it’s not beginning to melt, it should be fine in time

Maybe she thinks she’s an SPS, lol
