Coral ID

[FishOuttaWater]

I need help identifying a coral. We bought it at a big sale at an lfs last weekend. The place was packed and we had a ton of stuff we were buying so I can't remember the name. I need to know what it is so I can get it in the right spot in our tank. It's starting to turn white in some spots. It has orange centers and reddish brown around the edges.

Looks like a favia, what's you alkalinity?

Pretty sure it's a favia of some kind. Alkalinity is between 7 and 8. I run it low because of the biopellet reactor. They do the same at the store where I bought it.

My favias do better on the bottom of the tank with low-moderate light and low-moderate water flow.

Thank you. I moved it down today and set it on a new rock from the sump. Lower flow area. It's a very pretty orange color. I hate to lose it.

Looks like a favia as stated but looks like the pink lemonade morph of it.
