    I picked up this little guy from my LFS and I can't for the life of me remember what the name of it is!

    Welcome to 3reef :)

    Galaxea would be my first guess.

    Hydnophora would be my second.

    Just a heads up! Anything within 6 inches of that coral are subject to it's powerful sweepers. Please make sure other corals are kept clear. These things have a super legit sting.
