can anyone tell me what coral this is? I found him today in the lfs. Amazing color. Also tons of what I think are sponges popped up in my qt. I have no idea how they would have gotten in it.

First picture looks like a Leptoseris and the second is pineapple sponges
 
Ok lfs said it was some kind of brain coral. I couldn’t find any pictures of lepto that looked like that.

I have a lepto that looks like the one you attached. This one looks almost like a war coral or maybe a brain? I attached a picture from a different angle. You can see it almost looks like separate polyps. Thank you for your help.

Favia then would be my next guess :)
 
What is the care differences in the coral species that have been mentioned as possibilities?
