I purchased this coral about a month ago. They called it a Sun Polyp. It is now starting to open regularly, but still doesn't quite look like the pictures I've seen for the coral with this name. Does anyone know what this piece of coral is:

It appears to be a Tubastrea faulkneri aka sun coral non photosynthetic and you must spot feed it when the polyups are out.

Thank you very much for this information. I've been feeding each one for the past week since it has been opening well during this time. Now everytime I feed the tank it opens.
