I got this favia coral the other day and I have been able to figure out that it's a favia but that is about all. Anyone able to assist. The picture shows it with blue light, under normal or low lights it is a dark green.

You may not be able to find more because it isn't a Favia/Dipsastraea(Favia is now Dipsastraea) . It's Goniastrea palauensis, a gorgeous one too. Looks great! Hope it does well for you.
You'll find both mislabeled as each other unfortunately, that happens a lot with retailers. Polyp structure does look more like G. palauensis to me though.

Well some type of goniastrea any way. They like to eat. Keep your alk around 9 to 10. They say they are an easy coral to keep, but I lost one fairly quick. Not sure why, my other ones are fat and happy. The one's I have are neon green with purple ridges, a splatter type, a marble type and a teal blue with neon yellow eyes.
