any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its a carnation coral.Not an SPS.

Is it ok to have it next to my sps?

It has doubled in size again since I put it in the tank yesterday.....pictures shows double the size of what I bought and now its twice that size again.

Its ok, but they are known to stave to death in captivity.

it's not a carnation, it's a chili coral.

hehe, Chris, that would solve the feeding issue.

Kidding aside, looks like a yellow polyp chili coral to me too.
