It came on my pagoda cup rock.

 

[stylaster]

my guess is a favia

 

[jes_ika]

my guess is a favia

It seems to bubbly for favia. I have favia and it doesnt bubble up like that

 

[jservedio]

my guess is a favia

I don't know - the polyps look too small to be a favia. Maybe a micromussa or some really, really tiny polyped favites?

The first picture makes it look like a dead gonipora.

My guess is that its bleached out Orange Leptastrea. Hard to tell from the photos tho.

I'm going for a Blasto

The only side thats really bleached is the right side of it. I have had this coral for two years. I just broke it off of the pagoda cup rock

There needs to be a good in focus picture of the skeleton for this one to be more sure, but here are a few of my guesses;

Siderastrea siderea, but this is usually found in the Caribbean. Siderastrea siderea. Corals of the World - Photos, maps and information about corals and reefs
Leptastrea purpurea Leptastrea purpurea. Corals of the World - Photos, maps and information about corals and reefs
Possibly one of the Goniastrea species. Goniastrea retiformis. Corals of the World - Photos, maps and information about corals and reefs

Not in focus but I got this last night I am gonna try to get a better one

By the last pic I'm going to say favia of some sort.

 

[jes_ika]

By the last pic I'm going to say favia of some sort.

the last pic is when it is retracted it can get really bubbly and thats why I am sorta stumped cause I havent seen any of my favia bubble up like it. It looks one of siderastrea or leptastrea when its retracted but when its out.

We can rule out all Favia because the polyps will not have conjoined walls like this coral does.

Favites will have conjoined walls, but will also have a wide center to the corallite. This coral does not.
