Coral ID?

[Hannahrain]

I've had this for a while, usually my LFS labels everything but they weren't sure what this was. I've searched online far and wide for something identical without any luck. I had a goniopora (until my torch was too close) and this doesn't look it, nor like any labeled gonioporas I've found. I thought maybe an alveopora? Any ideas?

Not a goni. Not alveopora....im not sure. Any skeletal base or is it completely soft.

Yes, it has a hard skeleton base.

Charging a better camera now to get more pics.

wow... looks like a goni or alveo but it doesnt have the distinct tentacles around the heads. the third pic makes me think blasto but if it is, its reaching really far from its base which is interesting since ive never seen that before.

Maybe turbinaria peltata...

Good call! It could very well be that.

Thank you all for the input! Still no conclusive answer but that's ok. It's like it has gonipora stalks and tiny mini blasto like heads, LOL . It seems to be happy where it is in the tank. I tried to get better pics with my actual camera but they turned out even worse than what my phone takes.

Thanks Again!
