Turbinaria sp aka Pagoda aka Scroll coral aka Cup coral aka Turban coral.
 Oh, and it is a hard coral.  Both LPS and SPS are hard corals. Many people seem to think that LPS are soft corals, but they aren't. Anything with a calcareous skeleton is a hard coral of one sort or another. It may take a week or even two for the polyps to fully extend, but I assure you it is a Turbinaria coral no matter which common name you like to use. Your Turbinaria has really good coloring. Keep it happy and healthy with not too much light (or too little depending what type you have), and it will keep this gorgeous coloring. They have a tendency to bleach out to a tan color although there are yellow versions as well.A Blue Ridge coral is something totally different. Blue Ridge is Heliopora sp, and although it looks like an SPS it is in fact an LPS coral. When you break a piece off it is blue on the inside, and if it is nice and healthy and well kept the growing tips will be bluish. I would like to have one in my tank. I love them!!

Yup, I have the same coral. Its a Turbinaria sp. Very hardy & easy to keep. The polyps extend out a few days after I move it and those polyps are large (almost overlapping).
