I’d say it’s Favites, leptastrea looks incredibly fluffy with the polyps they have.I’m new to LPS and thought I got a favites from the LFS. Is this Lepastrea? Second photo is right after feeding. These are the best I could do with iphone.![]()

I like the “incredibly fluffy” description. I think “fluffy” or “hairy” is how I’d describe it looking in person. Lots of tentacles surrounding the mouths unlike the puffiness of my favia polyps. The top picture is a little unclear due to angle and zoom. The second picture is during feeding with reef roids, so all the tentacles are retracted.I’d say it’s Favites, leptastrea looks incredibly fluffy with the polyps they have.
