Identify this coral please...

[gb387]

I got this in a 'package' deal from an individual. Not sure what it is, can someone tell me what it is? Only thing he knew is to keep it away from other corals or it will kill them.

Any help would be great!

tongue coral, i agree. ive never heard of them killing other corals though i could be wrong.

they are pretty agressive for a LPS..

Def. A tongue coral, looks a little Dark on top, What type of lighting are you using?

I just put this in the tank... I am using t5's 8X54 with the standard Current bulbs 4 10K and 4 Actinic.
One side of the coral is definitely darker than the other side. This came off a much larger coral.

One more thing... the underside is yellow

Hmmmm...
I don't think it's a Fungiid family member, I think it's a Galaxea sp.

Have you seen any sweepers on it?
Here is a pic of Galaxea with it's sweepers.
