ID this coral please

[profntbtr]

i would say cynarina lacrymalis (80% sure) also known as owl eye, or meat, or tooth coral

[justahobby]

Good idea prof.

This is great. We should play "Guess that Coral" every Friday.

I think Sherry got them from Pacific East. Maybe they can ID it for us

[snfkotara]

They are doughnut coral which is a form or family of the lobo. I bought them as lobos. And yes they love to eat meaty foods and they will win if put too close to acans. But Chalice will win with all coral that I know of. Wow I really did take a chalice to be so aggressive.

Thanks everybody and especially Sherry
cynarina lacrymalis aka doghnut coral would be awesome. Look what I found (I just like to ID so I know how to take good care of each coral):

The extent to which the coral expands its tentacles is a good bio-indicator as to your tanks overall water parameter level. If the polyps extend during the day for the most part and extend fully, then your water is close to ideal for the most part.

Makes me feel good. This little guy is out almost all the time

Somebody please help me out... I bought something similiar which I was told was a scolymia (or are all these just different scoly names?). I LOVED it... until it died overnight. :(

I think scolymia is similar but different. Eek. I hope my little chubby one doesn't die. :(
