What kind of coral is this?
I got my first saltwater tank last weekend. It was free and the lady just couldn't take care of it anymore...as you can see it needed some cleaning. There are several large groups of this coral. I want to trade it for some different coral at my local fish store. But I don't know what it is or how much a group might be valued at. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Looks like a nice colony of brown button polyps, not extremely valuable $20 maybe.

I agree with the above. It seems to be zoanthids/Button polyps

The "pedels" of each "flower" look orange when the tanks blue light is on...would that make it a Fire and Ice Zoa?? I could send another picture when I get home.
