Is this a goniopora coral? Ordered a goniopora coral and was sent this I thought they had longer tentacles?

The polyps will retract and expand. There are even some with very short stubby polyps. The polyps def look to be the correct shape and there appear to be a correctnumberof tentacles. If its new then it may just need to settle in for a few days. I like the color.

yea its new been in my tank about 4 days
 
Looks like a Goni. Maybe give it a few days to settle in. I have a few- one stays short like yours but does still grow - maybe lighting could make a difference on how it extends (or not lol)

how long hav you had it?

Your tank looks mature. How’s your parameters? I feel like mine are more sensitive to phosphates. I’m at .7ppm. If I hit 1ppm they retract a bit- it’s like a visual sign I need to change gfo lol. How’s your parameters? Are your keeping other corals?

tanks up for about 16 months and my nitrate and phos were off the charts a few weeks ago lost a few lps started dosing nopox my nitrates are about 40 right now and my phos about 0.5 been dosing for 2 weeks now and its helped me lower my numbers tremendously.

my numbers were 160nitrates and 1.0 phosphates before i started nopox i got phosphate-e to help knock my phosphates down to where they need to be and hopefully i can maintain these low numbers with water changes this time instead of all this dosing
