OP
OP
It actually came in as a gonipora but after sitting it with our other porties the polyps size and shape look closer to a porties.
I'm actually going to change the title to show porties/goni just incase we're wrong I'd never want to someone to think we misrepresented a coral. Either way its sweet looking

I'd say approx 3x3 inches. Its a nice size chunk. When i get to the shop tomorrow i can get an exact measurement.

You could try making it close up a bit so it's not as dense and take a macro shot, then you can count how many tentacles are on it per polyp. If it's an encrusting goniopora it'll have 24 tentacles per polyp, based on what I just researched porites should have 12 tentacles? We can safely dismiss alveopora simply because of the polyps themselves, the tentacles would be more rounded on the tips whereas those are more tapered. Based on what I can see I believe it to be a encrusting goniopora simply because of the density, porites polyps generally aren't as thick and because they have less tentacles the skin itself should be showing.
Sorry I'm a bit late, but congrats on the sale.

Old thread back to life! I got a large growout of this. Did you end up figuring out if it was a Goni or porites?
