Is this a brown Pavona or somthing else.

What ever it is it grows crazy fast.

looks like a pavona to me. pretty agressive coral and can send out sweepers.

So far it is looking like Pavona, but it is too fuzzy to tell for sure. http://sdmas.com/corals/291.php Can we get a pic with the polyps retracted to see the outline of the skeleton?

Pavona decussata

I will try upside down on the sand.

They almost never completly reteact, I wish I knew how to post a video they look really cool waving in the current.
