What’s this coral?

These frags are for sale at my LFS. Look like LPS? I’m trying to figure out if they’d do ok in my tank (13.5g evo) under a Kessil a80.

Should be OK in the light.  Don't buy a coral (or anything) without reading up on it though.

That’s why I wanted to confirm what it was, so I could research before potentially buying it.

It's a favia. They can be somewhat aggressive so make sure you can give them room.

 

As mentioned always research any animal you plan to keep. 

Yeah I read about the aggression, which means I’m probably not going to try it for now. I don’t want to get into coral aggression in such a small tank as a beginner.

I have one in my 2.5G Pico. As long as you isolate it (or place things upstream so they cannot be stung) you shouldn't have issues unless it grows really well

Yeah I may try one in the future, just maybe not as one of my first corals.

I have a war coral in my tank ... I would not consider it overly aggressive. I noticed sweeper tentacles maybe a half inch long. IME  It is an easy coral for a beginner.
