It's a hard coral and it looks encrusting to me as well. The larger polyps are throwing me off.

What company did yuo buy a "Fiji Grab Bag Mix" from?
That is one interesting coral. I'm waiting on coffee and maybe, just maybe, i can find something similar in Veron's.

We did a special order group buy from Atlanta Aquaria. Didn't know what we were going to get except that it would be a Fiji Mix. For $17/colony it was worth the chance. We took turns picking from the 25 pieces that came in. Check out this thread:

Have you considered Astreopora for the one you asked about in this thread?
I looked through Veron's until I came to a group that looked similar to yours.

At a glance it looks like a turbinaria! Is that the same coral as in the first pic?
