Hmmm peace coral?

I've seen them sold as Micro (di)minuta, I think, but not sure if they are Micro or Favia.

It looks really close to Marvin's peace coral

Looks like a member of the Favidae Family. Breaking it down further would be tough. I've got a piece similar.

Does yours get sweeper tentacles late at night when the lights have been off for a few hours?

 

[impur]

Its just now showing sweepers at night and also when i feed. It seems to swell up when it gets food.

Mussides do not have sweeper tentacles. So it's most likely a Favide.

Thanks for the info. I'll check again tonight for sweepers.
