Coral identification

I’m not gonna lie, I thought it was a green star polyp lol. It was small and in the middle of the display tank so I couldn’t get a good look. It was only 30$, any ideas? Click image for larger version

Looks like an adjusting Galaxea coral to me.

Hmm possibly. I’ll have to see if it opens up in the morning or if I see any tentacles at night

It might be a stretch, but hard to really tell since it is still acclimating. A good picture during lights on tomorrow might be of more help.

Doesn’t have much change and that’s how it looked in the store.

Also...is this a hammer or a Duncan? I swore that was a hammer but this morning it’s starting to look more like a mutated Duncan. This new fish store I went to was very weird and I’m confused by its corals lol I had wacky service anyway. My sister and I walked into the store and the owner was sleeping and didn’t wake up till abt 10 mins after we were in there. Then took him 20 mins to figure out how to charge my card...

Coral identification

Maybe some sort of pavona but I’ve never seen it that round and that’s a hammer

Yeah, I'd bite on a pavona for that one. Must have been raised in a frag tank with perfect flow to grow that round.
