After an exhaustive google search, I can’t figure what I have here... lol.

anyone know what this is called? It’s more “aqua blue” in color than the pic shows.

Possibly galaxea

Looks like a Goniapora.

After looking at a bunch of pics of both, I am leaning galaxea over Goniapora.

What makes me think galaxea is the raised corallites. But it needs to open up a bit more, looks like you just glued it in.

I just picked it up on Sunday. This was last night, I have never seen the “stalks”as big as this except this time - Maybe this pic will help with a definitive ID?

Because it has stalks that will probably lengthen as it gets used to your tank, I am going to go with goniopora.

I’m leaning goniopora now. Can you take a pic under whites? But I’m sure it’s a goni now.

It’s on the left here. I’ll try tonight to get a better pic with an orange lens on my phone.

Your latest picture would make me say clove polyps or a pipe organ, they are extremely similar.

Agreed that the coral on the right of the photo is clove polyps, but the OP is talking about the coral on the left of the photo. I still maintain that it is some type of goniopora.

Whoops my bad! I am in agreement that the coral on the left is a type of goniopora.

That's totally fine, I was a bit confused as well when I first looked at the photo.
