Identification Please

[corahhhhline]

I'm new to coral and feel like an *** always asking "what's this?" "and this?" "and this?" while at the LFS. I bought this one as a frag about 8 weeks after the tank was setup. It's grown from about the size of a golfball to (when it's fully stretched out) the size of a baseball.

Please identify so I can learn more about it. Thank you very much.

As mentioned, it's a frogspawn. It's also not a soft coral but a large polyp stoney (LPS).

It's also one of the most common and easily recognizable corals out there, which - with all due respect - suggests you might not own a coral reference book. If that's the case, may I suggest either Sprung's 'Corals Quick Reference' or Borneman's 'Aquarium Corals'? Both are inexpensive and quite useful.
