Its a kind of LPS. From what Ive seen on mine, new polyps form kind of like zoanthids at first. This is as far as I know for sure, but I would imagine that they might spread out a little more and form a calcerous "crater" like all the other polyps.
PS: Rocky Horror Picture Show is amazing. You have to be out of your mind to understand that show

thanks everyone
question- is sun coral an LPS? i remember reading somewhere someone said it was really a nonphotosynthetic anemone? when new polyps grow do they just grow on top of whatever rock theyre on or do they grow a new skeleton?
if you look at my first pic, you can see larger skeletons covered by the yellow/orange skin, with small little polyps sticking out from them. they form their own skeletons, those little polyps are just as stony as the larger ones (unfortunately, cause i wanted to cut them off)

thanks everyone! haha, yeah, i thought the anemone thing sounded a little far out, um especially anemones dont grow in mats... lol but i figured id ask.
something else i was wondering, is it better for them to be in more shade? i read that light is detrimental to them on some sites, but others said although it doesnt benefit them any, it really doesnt matter if they get a lot of light or not. any ideas?
thanks again!

Yea they can be trained to come out during the day, as long as youre very consistent about the feeding schedule. Mine almost always come out right at 8.
