Goniopora?
- Thread starter WireTech
- Start date
Water parameters are normal with the exception of salinity which got a little high on me due to auto water change error. Slowly bringing it back down. It has been in the tank for about a week now. When it gets settled will the polyps extend or is this a different type of Goniopora?

Hard to tell from the picture, but it could also be a Lepastrea. If it is Goniopora, it should extend once it feels happy in your tank.

Goniopora. It hasn't yet felt comfortable extending it's polyps. It will look like that at night as well.
Thank you
Thank you. Also good information.
Time for a little update. I found and purchased an actual red flower pot coral frag. I mounted the frag a couple of inches from the mystery coral for comparison. It opened up right away and is what I would expect. Which still makes me wonder what the other coral really is.

The more I look at pictures of Montipora the more I think you are correct. Waiting for LA to get back to me and admit their mistake. Thank you for your comments.
