What is it?

[RiMo]

This frag was sold to me as a "micro brain". Does anyone know what it is?

My vote is for diploastrea heliopora... Moon coral. I had a piece the same colors.
Quick grower.

I'd say it's either Astreopora or Cyphastrea sp. Most likely Astreopora sp. because it looks like a plating growth.

Corallites look too small to be Diploastrea...just my opinion.

Astreopora is my guess too.

I would guess some type of coral.

I was afraid of that. That was my suspicion too.
