Can anyone ID this coral?

[Bret61081]

I came accross it today on Liveaquaria in the divers den as the picture for Polyp, Mushroom, and Soft Corals but have no clue what it is. Here is the picture

it looks like some relation to a sun coral but no idea with the red in there the way it is.

Thanks

not tubastrea. hard to tell with just a cropped pick, but I'd guess rhodactis based on the catagory it was in. Never seen a red one like that.

Are they trying to sell nearly impossible to keep corals by showing only extreme closeups of beautiful corals without an id?

edit: went to check it out for myself, and it looks like its gone.

It was actually from last week. It was the picture when u enter the divers den for soft corals but inside it was sold already before I could find out what it was. Sadly they do not do too well in aquariums so oh well. IT was an amazing looking coral though! I was more impresed that they emailed me back within an hour of emailing them! If I didnt have so many good LFS around me Id do business with them for sure!
