Mystery Coral

[gordie72]

I found this guy in my sump. It was what I thought was a skeleton that my friend threw in with some other coral and I realized last week that it had polyps growing on it so I put it into my display. It's completely bleached at the moment but it's skeleton has a shape I haven't seen before. Any ideas?

Porite

AKA Finger coral. Thanks, Whisperer. And Google images, too. So if it recovers and colors up, I should expect yellow? Dependant upon my lighting, of course

Porites Cyndrilicus (spelling?)

Lots of light + lots of flow = Happy Porites.

Thanks again for the info, Whisperer. I found finger coral earlier, but apparently hump coral is more accurate, at least according to this http://data.gbif.org/species/14582105 I will have to find him a home near the top of my tank, I guess
