ID Lps coral

My dad just got me this coral, I know impulse buying coral is wrong but I couldn’t say no. Anyone know what it is? Additionally it has an aptasia in the bottom will it still intoroduce into my tank if I let it wake up in a container and hit it with aptasia x?

I'ts a Platygyra coral. if you can kill the aptasia before going in the tank you'll be good but I would definitely rinse the coral in clean saltwater after the aptasiaX to ensure everything is off first.

They like lower light and lower flow. They are generally slow growers. Some of my favs though of lps. Just harder to keep long term. I have a few, but they are still small even though one has been with me for over 2 years.

Thanks guys!

So I couldn’t get the aptasias to come out and get them with aptasia x so I just superglued them into the holes they were in

this is it in the tank

Good luck, that's a nice looking piece. As far as the spawn from hell, aka aptasia, don't be surprised if it somehow houdinis the super glue and pops up again... been there done that.
