Bought it at my LFS today... when polyps are retracted it looks like a neon green tennis ball. Hard skeleton.

Just gorgeous light green color.

flower pot perhaps. i would think 2x about getting it if it is. not easy/poor track record it captivity.

 

i believe thats an alveopora. dont think its a goniopora

 

Either alveopora or goniopora, they're close relatives and both are quite difficult to care for.
Not saying it can't be done but It's just difficult

 

It's a close one. Both species look so similar.

 

they will look great for the longest time, then its like poof waht happened. they like dirtier water , so down on the sand bed would be good, with light flow.

 

It is either Goniopora or Alveopora hard to be sure with the pictures, if you can count the tentacles on the polyp it will make the difference. Twelve tentacles is Alveopora if more it is Goniopora.

 

More than 12.... Goniopora

We shall see how it goes.
