    Your friends tank is awesome! Would love to see more pics of it. Can't tell, with those pics, what coral you got.

    It looks like a blushing finger leather, mine looks the exact same when it is closed all up, but than again there are so many different species of it it can be hard to identify the exact one. Very easy coral, mine just keeps growing, make sure it is not placed somewhere other corals will be under it will shade them out.
