What kind of coral is this and is there a name for it?

what kind of coral am I? When i got this they did not know what it was called was wondering what it was or atleast what kind it was

 

Looks like a duncan to me.

 

Is it a Duncanopsammi sp.?

 

that looks like it thanks guys ... if you can see he is getting some baby polips on the side got 3 new ones..

 

+1 to a Duncan, very nice coral

 

Duncan for sure.

Looks a little bleached too. How high up in the tank do you have it, and what t are your lights?

 

yea got that frag on black friday for $5.00 cant beat that. Gotta love it was not gonna step foot in a retail shop but went coral shopping

 

its mid level right now. Its color is a little better than the camera shows I have a bow front and it kinda messes up the camera and my eyes a bit so brightened it up with photoshop. The dang thing is growing like a weed though. there like a green purple in the middle the camera does not show that very well

Right now have 4x24inch actinics and a 250watt metal halide 24inch fixture its sitting on the top of the tank its a 93 gallon corner tank so its about all that would fit on top! But yea mid level kinda moved them around to see were they liked it the most. Had them towards the bottom stayed closed for awhile then moved them to the top. they did not like that at all so put them on the side in the middle so they were out of the range of the light so not so bright not dark either and bam polips left and right!

 

Sounds like you've got it under control then. :thumb_up:

 

I would be careful not to give it too much light. Duncans are found in deeper water than most LPS. They are great corals because they tell you quickly when they are unhappy. Mine is a great indicator of my SG, loves target feedings. It is under 150w in the sand bed and growing like a weed, another great thing about them is they grow quickly.
