Yeah I was thinking Psammocora as well. Pavona has sort of elongated teardrop shaped polyps.

Hey Harvey, I don't want to Hi jack your thread but could you tell me the name of this sps. I was told it was a pavona as well but haven't seen it in any dealers tanks to confirm it.

To me that one looks like a hynophora of some sort. The first one in this thread definitely looks like pavona.

I agree with Rick James, it does look like a Hydnophora to me as well.

I have some of this stuff and I am pretty sure its hydnophora.

I got this piece from The Coral Hunter. He Had a specific name for it that I had never heard of before. It wasn't Hydnophora though. He said it was a rare coral that came on one of his shipments. Guess I will never know

Harvey,
I have a piece just like that in my tank and I never knew what it was either. What would the rest of the name be? Pavona what?

I would guess Psammocora contigua (not Pavona sp. anymore).

Don't trust the name they call it at the store, they are often not even right on their order sheet. The polyps on that piece look hydno-ish to me. Maybe this one since it looks like an encrusting growth form?
