Coral ID needed please

[w_1qaz]

I received this coral frag for free from a reefer when I purchased other corals from him.
The person could not remember what it was.

Can anyone ID this for me.

Thanks

It's really hard to tell from the pics, sorry. Does it close up? It looks like palys and sponge.

Is is a solid calcified ball with eyes, and they do not close.
Thanks

Looks like it could be a christmas favia. Keep good parameters and it should make a recovery. Hard to tell though.

 

[DSC reef]

I'd say favia as well

so fast forward 5 months this is what it looks like now!!

 

[DeniseAndy]

I have that favia. Very nice! Such a wow piece for color.

any guess on what this is? Dragons Envy?

 

[DeniseAndy]

Nopel Got mine so long ago, not sure. I think they called it dragon soul or reverse dragon soul. I could be really wrong though. Sorry.

Its dragon soul "favia", which is actually goniastera palauensis.
