    This coral is for sale on an NZ auction site. The owner says the do not remember the name.

    Can anyone ID it for me? I don't want to buy something that I can't care for.
    Here is a pic:

    plate coral or fungia...
    Fairly easy lps although sometimes they just up and die for no apparent reason. Crushed coral substrate is hard on them and can injure their tissue and cause infection --> death.
    They are photosynthetic but also have a large mouth and will enjoy eating frozen foods, pellets, etc.

    If that picture is of the actual coral then it looks healthy right now to me.

    Thanks
    Sounds like it might be something my emperor angel would find too delicious!
