Question Help to identify coral.

Hi guys,

Just got one if these and am unable to identify it.

Secondly, I would like to know whether they are similar to polyps / zoas?

How to care for it.

Thanks
Kamal

Looks more like some kind of Cyphastrea coral but I have no idea what one

@Chromi - I got it near the beach (in water deep around 3 feet). It seems to have broken up following some rough seas. I can't see any polyps that come out. It's just white/brownish...

@Honks69 - It does seem so but for me i think it might be closer to Zoathids...

I've been told it might be of a xenia family... But i really dont know.
