Any chance of a bigger picture; its kind of difficult to make out any features on it.

It does have rough features that look like a branching flowerpot (either Goniopora or Alveopora- most of the branching varieties Ive seen are Alveopora)

Alveopora

Goniopora has more a flat base (or at least the one's I've seen). I love I like the ones that are neon green myself.

i hope you can see this one better!

Its one of those two for sure; how many tentacles are on each polyp- 12 or 24? That will be your guide as to which is which

 

[MIREEFER]

its alveopora or daisy coral

 

[MIREEFER]

this is mine and what it will look like when open or at least close

 

[cbowman]

ya thats what she looks like but mine is a pink color and she has at lest 24 polyps so what one is that?

 

[Hormigaquatica]

12 = alveopora 24 = goniopora
Goniopora have a pretty dubious reputation.
Ild suggest checking out goniopora.org for some good pointers to keep it alive.
