An unknown SPS

[BillyZ]

This is a little SPS (encrusting) I found on a piece of LR rubble (yes, same piece of rock as my other post). When I first got the rock it seemed to be just a coral skeleton. No polyps visible at ALL. A few days after I upgraded my NO lights to the PCs lights I noticed polyps! There were only 4 or 5 "circles" and it's in a really tough spot to get a pic so it's hard to see, but it's a couple inches in diameter now, probably 20-30 circles. Any ideas what this is? I'll try ang get a better pic some time but I'd really have to move the rock to do so.

Thanks!

its hard to tell from the pick but could it be galexia

That's what it looks like to me from that angle.

I agree w/ every one else. If you see LONG sweeper tentacles, it's definitly a Galaxea. (LPS)

well I decided to turn the rock and took another snapshot, It's quite retracted from the move, but here it is.

Any care pointers if it is a Galaxea? (and I've never seen any sweepers)

Oh, other shot is the whole rock I found the two corals on.

ROFLMAO.....
I have had a Galaxea for awhile now, not much special care feeding wise just make sure to leave room for those sweepers. They can do a number on other corals. Med-high flow, and med-high light. Nice freebie!
