Hi! Chris here . Fairly new to hobby had a saltwater tank about 10 years ago never had corals. Just started another tank .. 90 gallons had some rock shipped from fla. incredible rock had this on it was hoping someone could tell me what it is. I did some checking online but wanna make sure so it's cared for properly

It could be an acan or some type of brain coral. Great score for sure!

After thinking about this I'm going with Lobo.

That's a lobophylia brain coral.
That's an amazing hitchhiker !
If you have strong lighting you'll want to keep it in indirect ml fighting on the sand bed. Feed it silversides, mysis shrimp, meaty food.

You get your rock from TBS?

It's also stony. Here's a recipe for water chemistry for it. 8.3 alk, 420 calcium, 1350 magnesium, held steady. Go to SETTING UP ^ and read the chapter on Dirt Simple Chemistry, which will tell you how to do that. It's not at all hard, just takes 3 tests (for those elements) and supplements to keep the water at that balance.
