I know this is a type of brain coral but I am not certain which type it is. I believe it is a Carribean Boulder Brain (Colpophyllia) or a Closed Brain (Oulophyllia) from the Red Sea or Indian Ocean. Please, give its scientific name and common name when you I.D. I would also like some recommendations for this coral because I have never had one before, just want to keep it happy.

Thanks

Doubt that it is a Caribbean coral as they are illegal to collect, it kinda looks like a Platygyra daedalea, although it could possibly be a Goniastrea sp. It can be hard to tell without skeletal examination... Either way that is one nice coral.
