don't think it's xenias, I have some of those too... Pom Pom pulsating. I want to say it starts with a S, but I could be way wrong...

Possibly Tubipora musica, Pipe Organ Coral. It's not a LPS coral.

The polyps look similar to that of a pipe organ coral, but there is no pipe substructure...

Then probably Clavularia sp.

I've always heard them called the common name "clove polyps"

Hey all, I got my first LPS a couple of hours before. I accept as true it is a acan echinata. Can anyone affirm this? furthermore does it gaze to be in decent condishion? Like I said it has only been in the container for a few hours. It is in a low flow locality. Lighting is 40watts of T5HO and supplemental moonlights over a 5 gallon nano. Will it inflate more? furthermore is it sufficient light?
