Coral Coral Coral :)

Doesnt coral just make you happy? Lol

Got another piece of coral yesterday but yet again the Sunday girl in the LFS couldnt tell me its name, but could tell me that it has its own skeleton that I need to be careful not to damage and that it would sting anything that got close to it. Heres a pic of it.

Can anyone help me ID it atall? All suggestions welcome. Cheers :)

some kinda hammer coral or frogspawn

Can't quite tell if it is a "wall" or a "branching" version from the picture, but from the tentacles it appears to be an Anchor coral, which is very similar to a frogspawn and hammer coral. Frogspawns have "dots" at the tips, hammers have straight horizontal tips, and anchors, well, are curved like boat anchors like your picture shows. It could still be a hammer coral and the tentacles are just not inflated all the way as well.

My first thought was anchor coral as well.

That's definitely what it is. Appears to contiguous, so not a branching species. Nice specimen, BTW.
