Anyone have this coral?

I got this coral about a week ago and was wondering if anyone else has one. It's called a Leptastrea sp. "Crater Coral". The coral was not fully opened up in the picture.

That looks pretty cool!

Maybe its the picture... but the polyps look too large for it to be a Leptastrea? Either way it is a cool looking coral. Nice addition!

That is a crater polyp not a crater coral ie lepastrea. Google images "crater polyp" the first few images should be what you are looking for

Y'all are right. Found out its a type of True Palythoa sp. "crater coral / mat zoanthid".

wow. I didn't know palythoa came in one piece smooth mats like that -very cool.
If you do want a Leptastrea I think Cob's Corals had a few including a very pretty yellow one :)

Yep, there are tons of them down in the Florida Keys too! Not as nice of colors but I have seen continuous colonies the size of small cars.
