Mystery Coral

[Mackenzy]

Received this from a friend in a trade. He wasn't exactly sure what it was so I was wondering if anyone knew, and if Coral frenzy would be a good source of energy for it. (besides calcium,alk,lighting)
It does seem abit pale. its a light purple with hair algae all around its frag plug.

looks like a bleached out version of an encrusting montipora

That looks like ****ed off Green Star Polyps to me lol

Encrusting montipora seems right. Out of all those polyp spots only two little ones have come out in the last three days since I've gotten it. There the same light peach color as the rest of it.

Cyphastrea of some kind

Just looked up info on Cyphastrea & Asteropora both also likely contenders! Issue is Cpyphastrea & Asteropora need completely different lighting conditions then Montipora. Going to do a 3 day blackout and come to a conclusion buy the end of it. More of the tiny polyps have stretched out so tiny
