Looks like something in the xenia group. I am not that good with corals but this might give you a starting place to look.

I agree. One of the LFSs I frequent sells that for about $100.

How big is that coral? It looks to be a pretty large size.

It is a Gonipora. That is an extremly difficult coral to keep. Looks nice though.

Here is a link that might help: http://www.dets.com/Gonio/goniopora.htm

Looks like Goniopora to me - except mine was pinkish.

So, the gonipora isn't in the xenia family? They sure look related.

Oh well, that's the last time I guess the coral without my trusty Borneman book handy.

I agree it looks like a flowerpot coral. Or goniopora.
