I wonder what kind of stylo, I have a few stylos and there much more furry ( is this a rare color ? Because I haven't seen it before and I have a green stylo that looks nothing like it . Accept at night it llooks a little more furry. Love this coral it also came in pink . Anyone know the care on this coral? High flow high light ? That's what I got it at and seems to like it .

The Genus of Stylophra has a bunch of species. This one looks like it might be a pistillata (Stylophora pistillata).

Also, even within the species there are different colour morophs. There are Pink, Green, Yellow-green (which can also simply just be a pale/bleached green), multi-colour Stylophora pistillatas. Depending on how it reacts to your tank, it may keep its light yellow-green colour or it may darken up and become simply (deeper) green.

In my experience the care for all my Stylophora are generally the same. You said you have a bunch of stylophora now. Whatever you're doing to keep those guys happy you can generally do the same for your new one :-)

Also, how "fuzzy" your corals are is a function of how happy they are. The fuzzier they are the happier they are. This one is likely a bit annoyed and still adjusting from being yanked from the ocean, sent to Calgary, put in a holding tank at the LFS, then yanked from the LFS and then put into your tank :-) It should get fuzzier once it settles in.
