Coral ID?

[Teenreefer15]

Just bought this coral but am not sure what it is. Ive heard some sort of cyphastrea. Can I get some exact names maybe?

Definitely Cyphastrea...not sure if you'll get more specific than the genus. Maybe a Meteor Shower, but that's a trade name, not a species. Care for it should be the same, so Meteor Shower would be what I would search for if you are researching.

looks like a bleached meteor shower to me. Mine is on the bottom of a 120 lit with 2 x AI Sol blue at 45w/65b/65rb with medium to high flow. In the year or so that I've had it it has spread nicely, covering at least 8x what it did when I got it

yes meteor shower. What happened was i was buying a meteor shower and he said he could give me a different kind so I knew it was cyphastrea but not sure if it was still meteor shower because I though that was the coloration of the other one but yeah that sounds right.
