You wouldnt know a more common name would you?

 

[reefkprz]

trumpet coral, candy cane coral, bulls eye coral, torch coral, are all common names for it and its closely related bretheren. unfortunately the common names are interchangable between the species depending on who you talk to one is one and not the other, but some one else calls it another. I myself would call yours a trumpet coral or candy cane as a common name and not the others but some one else may have a different view on it.
