Coral Identification

[Count Percula]

Can anyone help me identify this coral? I got it today and the little sunflower polyps just started coming out. Thanks!

Look like a sun coral I believe.

It's an azooxanthellate coral which means it can't make food using light so you'll need to feed it preferably every alternate day for it to survive.

Thanks everyone!

I can't believe I've never seen these before. Also, thanks for the tip on feeding. I just picked him up yesterday and the lfs didn't mention it. I put him low and up front, so he should be easy to spot feed.
