So I picked this up for 25.00 at the local LFS. Any idea on what it is exactly. It was listed as assorted hard corals. Ihave been told it is a type of plate coral. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Looks like Pagoda/Cup coral.

yup that's what it is. That's a nice size for $25, just make sure that you have plenty of water flow around it so setteling sediments don't lay on the tissue and cause dead spots.
