please ID this frag

[kelogz08]

hello fellow reefers,

Can anyone help me out to identify this coral. I got this from a fellow reefer here in MR who generously gave this frag when he bought my LED light fixture. He gave me a bunch of frags and identified them but i missed this one out.

I would like to know it's light requirement and it's placement in my aquascape

thanks in advance

it does have some short hair like extension/tentacles if you can see in the first pic

looks like cyphastrea

 

[kelogz08]

ohh, is that pretty much how the tentacles go? very short?

 

[kelogz08]

Looks like a pocillapora on the 2nd frag, 1st is cynthastrea for sure

+1 on porcillopora damicornis...
On the cyphastrea as far as tentacle length depends on the sp. of cyphastrea. None of them have long tentacles though. That Is definitely an encrusting sp. so give it ample space to grow. Usually a medium light medium flow coral, start it low and if you want move it to higher light move it slowly.
