Help with ID!

Okay, not sure what exactly this is, but I think that it is an LPS. You can see the skeltal structure, and the polyps spread out. This was a saver from my LFS that I got for free and is now coming back great! I just have no clue what it is! All help is apprecaited!

Likely Galaxea

Does galaxea get a mat between the polyps? When this closes up, you can see a small mat that connects each polyp.

If that is a part of that surrounding skeleton, it might be a pagoda. Me thinks.

def. looks like galaxia.. is that in your tank?? if so what are yur params??

 

[30mini]

I think that it is a galaxea for sure! Pagodas have a skeltal structure more like a Cap. but this has the single polyps that come up, almost like a candy cane. The picture doesn't show it, but trust me, it's there. So, thanks Hormigaquatica for the ID!

Another vote for Galaxia.

Yea, it is in my tank, and like I said, it was a saver from the LFS! They had it in their reef, and it looked great when they got it, but they let it get bad. It's actually coming back, but as far as my params are, ammo=0, trites=0, trates=~10, SG=1.026. Have had no trouble with anything except for a little hair algea bloom that came from a bulb change from 14K to 10K.
