I bought this coral and was told it was an SPS but did not know what kind....

Its about 12" wide and grows kinda like a Capricorns but will encrust if it touches a rock....

Please help me ID this coral....

That is one awesome coral. Looks a bit like a clam in those first pics, just missing the shell :)

You have a species of Hydnophora that only plates. I am unsure of the exact species on this one but it is very, very aggressive.

It's a very nice piece you have!
