Coral ID

I bought a bunch of SPS from a guy that was getting out of the hobby about 3 weeks ago. Can anyone identify it? It's important I know, so I can keep it successfully.

I love reefers...

Looks like a Galaxian to me

Looks to me like a short polyp goniopora that hasn't fully opened.

I'm with Sas, Pagodas grow concave, or more flat, I've never seen one convex. All Goniopora I've seen grow with no spaces between the polyps. Could be galaxia, might have to wait for it to open.

well I've learned something, I thought the cup in Pagoda cup described the polyp being shaped like a cup not the colony.

Occelina cyphastra is my vote
