Name that coral...

So I went to the LFS to return a PAR meter and ended up purchasing some frags from the cheap $10 section...I knew all of them but one and asked and he told me but I did not write it down and by the time I got home I can not remember for the life of me. I am hoping someone #reefsquad can help me figure out what I have in my frag tank. I think it may be a goniopora but not sure.

Here is the picture:

Its the one up close in the corner...Thanks in advance

The closest one in the picture? That looks like a Galexia to me with a few heads struggling.

Appears to be one Very unhappy hammer colony.
Moderate light and water flow, temp range 77-79, salinity range 1.024-1.026 and PH range 8.0-8.3

Up close Galaxea, a very aggressive LPS. Looks like a Favia sitting behind it.

Agreed definitely looks like a Galaxea to me. But doesnt look to happy!

War Eagle @Tuffyyyyy I think its Galexia, now I need to read more about it although if its real aggressive will have to figure out if I want to keep it..its in my frag tank now so I have time to watch it and see how it does. It looked better today but I'm new to all of this so just trying to keep things happy.

Here is a pic of my Hammer it seems happy:

Tom, Im on a large screen now instead of phone and stand corrected - agree on star galaxia

From what I read it's probably not what I want to have in my nano 29G DT, sounds like it can get pretty large and has even longer sweepers than hammer etc...bummer, looks neat though.

Thanks everyone...

So it looks like favia is also pretty aggressive...ugh looks like I will need to think about that one also..any suggestions regarding the favia agressiveness?
