SPS Coral ID, please

[nloureg]

Got this coral yesterday, maybe it's a pavona? It's looks healthy to you? It's was looking exactly like this on my LFS, my patameters are all nice, I have other SPS doing great on my tank, but I don't have reference and knowledge of this coral. It is on a high flow area under royal blue and UV light. Thank you.

Yup pavona,
Cactus coral, potato chip coral are a couple common names.

Pavona cf decussata

Yup pavona,

Not cactus/potato chip; that is P. cactus, which has thinner fronds and doesn't have diurnally-extended tentacles

Nice man, I got this decussata searching on Internet, but i wasn't sure about it. It seems healthy to you? It's really beautiful but I have no idea.

Seems healthy; as long as it isn't losing any flesh it should be good

Thank you for your attention.

Very nice piece! One of my favorite "oddball" SPS.

Looks healthy. Some are flat as yours seems to be, mine are more furry. They are quite hardy. Medium (100) PAR is fine. I have some at the top of a couple tanks and they seem to be slow growers in high light.

One word of caution, they can have very long sweepers, 3-4 inches so give it room.

Yeah, today it's longer, my reef is a nano, but it is in a good place. Thank you for your tips.
