Is this a hydnophora exeta?

I just purchased this... can you help confirm my i.d. of this coral? I think it's a hydnophora exeta but i'm not positive. Also, is there any special advice anyone has with this coral ... watchouts?

Thanks

It sure looks like a hydnophora exesa. Is that as blue/turqoise as it looks in that pic??? If so that is an AWESOME color morph.

Just be wary not to let anything touch it. It will win any battle with any prolonged contact with anything else youve got. Ive lost more than a few corals to mine.

it likes lots of light, preferrably MH

I agree with FlyGuy... give it plenty of room. I've had a hydno kill an inch and a half area of a coral in less than 6hours of contact. Give it plenty of light and lots of room for growth.

Will do .... thanks for the advice.

Also, yes, this is pretty much it's color. From a distance it's not all that exciting but up close it has a pretty cool color.
