Anyone know what this is? (Got a pic now)

[schulze]

This was labeled "Zooanthid Coral" at the LFS. Can anyone tell if this is true and what kind from my crappy pic?

Description: Red with little polyp looking things but ive never seen any of these open so i have no clue what it really looks like or if they even open up. Woman at LFS said they open at morning and night becuase the lighting in thier tank was too strong.

When you touch it, is it hard or soft? Kinda look like star polyps to me...in a way.

Does Polyps come out of it like CP`s. I want to say a pagoda cup but color does not look right.

It looks like it could also be Green star polyps. Kind of hard to tell with the polyps closed up.

It is hard. I moved it to the middle of the tank in hopes to get the polyps to come out.

It doesn't really look like any sort of polyp to me. If it was, the base around the polyps would be soft, not hard.

It looks like Turbinaria sp....maybe the reniformis. I think they are a type of LPS coral. Try placing it in an area of higher flow for a bit to see if that helps. Again, just a guess.
