With your set up, you're in good shape, maybe a little more water flow if he doesn't open up a little more than that in a couple of days. [img]/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

I may be wrong but it looks like a pearl bubble coral (Physogyra lichensteini)to me. Look on ffexpress.com there is a good picture of one in the hard coral section. Same care as a bubble coral I believe. medium light, low flow.

Good luck

Clown-t,

The coral you have is a pearl bubble or octobubble, Plerogyra flexuosa

Pretty much the same care regime as regular bubble, Plerogyra sinuosa

It is rather tolerant of lighting, but should be fed.

I feed my Plerogyra corals a piece or two of shrimp or a piece of silverside once or twice a week.

They like a medium current and all in all are fairly hardy.

Regards,

Scott
