Here is a pic of mine:



I totally agree, I was thinking it was more like a pagoda coral or something at the store. They have one in their display tank which has been in there awhile and is just starting to encrust. It looks slightly different than mine, almost like the polyps are a bit more widely spaced apart which gives it the appearance of being a "mini pagoda" or turbinaria or something. I haven't mounted mine as it was rather pale looking and I was waiting for it to fully color up under my lighting before I start moving it up the water column

Wow that is a terrible photo, but you get the idea

Ah yes, yours is what I'm talking about! I think I will just go ahead and buy this one I found. It is a similar color to yours. After researching, I am wondering if they are supposed to be red instead of pinkish.

I have a piece of that same stuff. The polyps extend to about 1/2 an inch. I have had it several months now seems to be doing good. I have found that it likes medium light and flow. It tends to go pale in brighter light.
