Unidentified coral

[MondoBongo]

i got this frag from a friend who wasn't sure what it was either. it is neat looking. displays no florescence under actinic to speak of. definitely has a hard skeleton under the polyps.

i wasn't quite sure to classify it as SPS or LPS, but my gut says it is more of an SPS.

here it is with most of polyps open:

here it is with most of the polyps closed getting a hug from a spaghetti worm.

thanks for the help!

the polyp shape is reminiscent of my cyphastrea but I am not sure that I would call it one.

Thanks for the reply aromano. That's a good point about it being cyphastrea. It does have a hell of a lot of similarities. I guess when I think cyphastrea I usually think of meteor shower, but looking at more pictures there are a few more drab varieties that looking striking similar. Especially with the slightly feathered polyps. Hmm...
