Check for "dendro" on this forum, I'm not sure.

But if it looks like this:


then it's the Sun coral, Tubastrea. Here is the best article I could find.
LPS, non-photosynthetic, should be fed just like fish - by thawed chopped seafood or mysis shrimp, a couple per each polyp, twice weekly. Watch for growth of nitrates and phosphates. Dendrophyllia should have similar requirements, only bigger polyps, more rare and more expensive.

Really brighens the tank!
