What type of coral is this? I was told it was a Goniopora or an alveopora. No clue..

Looks like a Gonipora, but severely receded.

Looks like a brain coral to me. Does it have small clear tentacles that come out at night? If so it is a brain coral.

[Gilbert]

looks like a gonipora to me also.

[puretexn]

No Tentacles. But now the critters are starting to come out.

I was hoping you guys wouldn't say gonipora. They are hard to keep right?

anybody that thinks they can keep it alive better than me, I'll trade it out.

its a gonipora imo. very hard to keep also imo. ive had 1 lasted about 9 months

[Joshua]

Yep that's a goniopora for sure now that you can see the polyps coming out. They'll extend out into a huge beautiful ball and you'll be quite impressed. Enjoy it while you got it and ya never know when somebody ends up with a fluke and ends up thriving.

EDIT: Bruce, here is a good article to keep you up late tonight:

Agree with above on the id of this coral. You should ask big bird about care. Last I remember he had a really nice one in ms big birds 110.

[Bill S]

Get with bigbird - for some reason, he's been able to keep them alive.
