One more try!

Since this guy has been unidentified since I got the tank.. Let's try now that there's some life, and color!

Now my money is on some kind of montipora, since it looks like a plate. Whatcha think erry body?

 

Have you checked out Pavona?

I know I have attempted to ID this before right?

 

Several times probably! I'm sorry Coralline, but I can't take you seriously with that profile picture! xD

When I first got it, I was told pavona, but it doesn't seem to grow the right way. Last time I posted a picture of this, it didn't look nearly this good. So I thought I'd try again!

LOL, well at least I am consistent.

Oh and I stand by Pavona, but I will look around.

Halloween is serious stuff.


Edit: Stick a small frag close to it, if it kills it, it's Pavona.

 

Bumping this for you chance, hopefully someone else will have more input.

 

Look like it could be a plating hydnophora to me. They seem to encrust/plate at the same time like that.

 

Hydnos do not have that even polyp look though. I am thinking pavona as well, in the end we need a closer pics. It might be psmmmacora too but I'm leaning towards pavona.

 

Google, Psammacora.

 

Oh my bad, did Alex post Psammacora????? LOL

Looks like a brown version I saw on another forum today, so I cheated.

 

It's a tough cookie to crack, after looking closer at the poylps, you're definitely right, not a hydnophora. Keep growth shots and lets see if those bumps become mounds,.

I love corals... so many forms they can take that even ones of the same genus can looks so radically different. Especially if you can't closely observe the polyps.
