I bought this coral at a LFS and he told me the name of it but It completely slipped my mind. Just trying to figure out what it was so I can get a little more information on it than the LFS provided.

They are a type of paly
Very easy to care for, though it can spread fast and overcrowd a tank.
They are poisonous, so use caution (gloves, mask, goggles) whenever working with them.
 
Those are palys, aka brown button polyps.

Be very very careful with those. Those are one of the kinds that contains a lot of Palytoxin, which is one of the most toxic chemicals known to man. Worse than cyanide.
