I apologize if this is in the wrong forum... I didn't know what the classification would be for this coral.

Sorry,

Hard to tell what it is from the picture. Is it Turbinaria sp., Montipora sp.?

It looks like a Pavona sp.

Am I looking at it wrong? It looks like dead skeleton with tiny white tubeworm spirals all over it...

 

[just dave]

Most of it is dead.

Is there a chance that if I get it out of this gentlemans tank I can save it or is it a lost cause.

I don't want to put it in my tank if it's only going to cause me troubles as well.

Thanks
