It looks like a type of Goniopora, which have a very poor track record.

Goniopora, very hard to keep without specialized feeding and environment. Even then they are difficult.

may b alveopora????

may b alveopora????

now im getting some clue for the coral specis i have... mine looks like almost alveopora bcz the stalk of the polyps r short, but in gonipora the polyps r projected too long...
in mine coral polyp tentacles are also short... it resembles more like an alveopora...

plz confirm my doubt guys....

Alveopora has twelve tentacles per polyp while Goniopora has twenty-four
