Coral ID help?

[Bucs20fan]

Can anyone ID this coral for me? It was sold to me as a letpsiseris but I’m not so sure that’s what it is?

Orange Pavona Maldivensis​

Thank you for the ID, so I’ve got this thing sitting in about 150ish PAR is that too much you think?

is it golden? Looks like 24k Golden lepto

It’s an orange color versus yellow for sure. And looks like it has defined circles for polyps.

Either way I don’t want to kill it, it’s very attractive and I paid 40 dollars for it from my lfs and they called it a lepto and I wanna make sure I didn’t get ripped off either.

I’m certain it’s an orange pavona. Google it to confirm if you like. They like lower light in my experience, probably max 50 par or so.

Ok, I’ll probably have to move it then, I just got it yesterday so I’ll see what happens and then move if necessary

Just fyi, I had one bleach pretty quickly in moderate lighting, like practically overnight nearly 100% bleached.

Ok I’ll move it then I’ll have to put it in. Semi shades area then, I don’t have anything direct less than 100 par

I was going to say jack-o-lantern lepto however the pavona does look a lot closer based on the structure
