    Looks like a montipora and it is almost if not dead.

    Kinda looks like yellow porites to me, but it probably montipora digitata. Just try to provide ideal reef tank parameters, keep it stable, and hope for the best, but it looks pretty bad.

    Looks pretty rough. I's say its a Monti because of the thicker flesh. Porites tend to fade not peel. Keep it out of the direct light and give it some good water flow. Make sure your alk stays stable.

    Nice Proto and cocker paintball guns BTW. I think I still have a red Proto, and about four customer autocockers from back in the day when i competed.
