what is it?

I got this coral a while back, and it has gone from bright yellow to brown, has not grown or receeded, but has little fuzzy polyps on it.

Maybe montipora? Here is mine when i first got it, then a pic how it looks now, liked it better before. The purple polops are now the same color as the base, and its more mustard color then yellow now. But the polops extention is healthy.

Maybe porities of some kind, can be hard to keep, and very slow grower. That is my guess.

Yeah, I thought maybe a monti too, either way try giving it more light and more flow, may help

i've been thinking it needs more light, but i don't think my PC's are enough. gonna have to see about trading it or giving away i guess.

My yellow porites has turned green under my 14K MH's, has only grown about 1/4" or so in about year and half. Try to move it as close to light as you can, is possible to maybe green up after a while. If the polyps are out, and no signs of receding, it may just need a little time.
