I think this is an Alveopora sp. Alveopora sp. have 12 small tentacles while Goniopora sp. have 24. I'm sure someone can straighten this out for sure.

Cool, it'd be interesting to see how many handicapped ones a coral may have??

Alveopora with some 10s, 11s or 13s or Goniopora with some 23s or 25s... I mean it's gotta happen??

Here is one I just took and a couple from a while back.











Now I'm off to the airport to get some new diving pics.

I believe this piece is a Sunset Montipora ? Could be wrong though, as I have been before!

Sunset montipora, OCDP you are correct. Perhaps one of the nicest monti's out there. Grew this out from a 0.5" frag from ther LFS about 2 years ago, has had it ups and downs, but is doing real well now.
