ID my new coral

[mgh]

I need help. I found a lfs that will do trades and took a gamble with an unknown coral. Im thinking a plate but not so sure. anyway traded like 7 shrooms on rubble for this, I think it was a good deal.. If anyone knows what it is and what is the best care for this coral please let me know.

Hmmmmmmm, mouth doesn't look like a plates mouth, looks like a meat coral mouth. Does it have tenticles that surrounds the mouth when it eats? Is the whole base hard or is it soft? Plates whole skeleton bottom is hard.

I'd say Scolymia(Button Coral).

id say its 3" in dia all hard with an exo-skel. the underside is hard as well. the color is more orange. under 10k not sure about the tentacles it just arrived at the store last night and i got it this afternoon.
thaks for all the help.

why would you trade for something that you don't even know what it is or how to take care of it? seems kinda irresponsible to me
