    I agree. Goniopora, also known as flowerpot. Pretty color.

    haha, yeah, I think you got your answer! a goniopora or "flower pot" coral. The red/ orange ones can be pretty hardy, though slow growing... nice coral!

    yeah probably a goniopora, but VERY FREAKEN HARD TO MAINTAIN. Even when your parameters are perfect, it can still wither away.
