    Hi All, This coral has individual polyps that are rust in color and extend when I am feeding our corals. Thanks in advance

    A better picture would help. Is it a sun coral by any chance?

    No, its not a sun coral. We have one of those. I have attached pic of both. Only some of the polyps are extended in this picture

    I am going to say alveopora at first guess without a more detailed picture.
