hey guys, can any one tell me what type of coral this is, and is it a good one to keep?

Hard to tell. You got any other shots?

A shot of when it is closed up.

How big is it?

If I were to take a wild guess, I would say Hydnophora grandis but again, that is a guess. The fragment is just too small to tell.

Hydnophora for sure . keep it away from all your other coral hydnophora are very aggressive.And will kill most others. You can feed it mysis or brine.What is cool is that they digest the food outside of the body and then suck in the juice
