Question Coral id please
I got this coral and it was not very happy. Since in our tank the colors have greatly improved. What type of coral is this?

Whatever it is, I think it's probably that little clown goby that's bothering it.

It Is Echinopora Mammiformis.

Belongs to the Faviid Family....and yes, the sweepers are nasty, give it a lot of space.

This coral is a new addition and has not been in long enough. It was being kept in less than ideal lighting. I think the better lighting has brought out the colors. As for the reef-resh, most of our corals have shown improved color and polyp extention. Water clarity is also much improved.
