Just picked this at my lfs

[Evansimp]

He guy told me the name, but I didnt remember it. Tried to look up on liveaquaria and the closest thing I can relate it to is a blastomussa red coral. Anyone have any ideas? And conditions it prefers?

Never seen it before... Does trumpet coral ring a bell?

 

[Evansimp]

Was more scientific than that. It was a 20$ coral frag! I got it cus I thought it was a steal! It hasn't opened up all the way yet. Hopefully it will soon and il get some more pics!

About how long for a coral like this to open? A few hours?

Doesn't look like a blastomussa skeleton. Hmm not to sure what it is. Post a pic of it opened all the way up?

Ill attach a pic of my blastomussa
