Not even sure if this is LPS or SPS because I never see polyps that I'm aware of...

I have seen the sweeper tentacles at night (approx. 1/2" long)

Thanks,

Mark

I believe that is a Merulina coral, a SPS.

hmmm, can't find a good enough Merulina pic to compare to.

Is it possibly Pavona? The only thing mine lacks is polyp extension (not sure why)
