Candy Coral Identification?

[Lyscer]

I posted a picture of this candy coral a couple weeks ago but I noone could really tell me anything about it. I will try to post a better picture this weekend. Since this picture the mouth has turned green so it is maroon with a green mouth. Anyone seen one this color before? I'm trying to find out if this coral is rare/uncommon or what. thanks.

Again it a type of Caulastrea...aka candy cane....aka trumpit coral..
There are a couple different types, but unless you want to bleach all the flesh off I'd leave it at that..here is a web site that you can see the different types and how simillar they are.

yup i second the trumpet coral aka Caulastrea, at night they have cool feeder tenticles that come out around the mouth, they love mysis and cyclopeeze. I have one with about 7 heads on it, same colors you describe.

I´d say it is Caulstrea furcata.
