Leptastrea is what it looks like, but I sometimes get them confused with Leptoseris.

I think your on the spot there! What recomendations to placement and flow do you have on the coral?

It was a new coral in LFS shop when I bought it and it had a more pinkish colour to it. I got a frag piece and it looked amazing. 3 weeks after its colour has faded somewhat, i made a visit at the LFS today and it looks like it has the same colour change as mine, its a more pinkish orange look.

I have mine on the bottom of the tank with low flow, place it on a rock you want it to cover then wtach it grow.
This is mine.

it really looks like mine, did you notice any colour change when you added it to you tank?
I will place it lower on a rock like you said, check if that makes a diffrence.

Thanks

No, mine is a deep purple, yours seems a deep orange. There are many shades, I like the color you have!!!
