Is this a Goniopora?

[hani1314]

I was recently sold a Goniopora frag from a fellow reefer.
However, now that it is open I am not sure it is a goniopora.
I have attached a few photos. The last photo is it closed at night.

Thoughts?

I have a pom pom xenia colony and these are very different. They do not pulse.

these are clove polyps, a type of soft coral:

+1 on the clove polyps. I have all three referenced above and these look exactly like clove polyps. They are still nice corals, but have different requirements than Gonioporas.

These have a big difference from goniopora.. Goniopora have a calcium body and clove polyps grow and spread like a soft coral for starters...
