Coral ID

Any ideas? It is still closed up in the pictures, obviously, but the polyps are a light purple/pink color and are flower shaped. I am trying to decide on placement in the tank and want to place it high, but don't want to burn it up if it is a lower light coral. Thanks!

This is what google shows for flowerpot:

That is definitely not it. Any other ideas? These polyps do not extend on stalks, they just barely peek out of their holes.

Your flowerpot is closed. The picture isnt.

Goniopora sp.- AKA-flowerpot, ball, daisy coral. Many common names, but definitely looks to be of this species, many different color varieties too. Can be one of the more difficult ones to keep over time, usuall die within a couple of months or so.

Yea, maybe that is it. Time to research.

Depending on how zoomed in that photo is, it could be a type of porite! They just barely peak out and have a very similar structure to that.
