Can anyone help me identify this coral i just got from a friend?
He was unaware of what it is and had no room for it. 

it is the one left of the green zoas. 

Any help finding the name of it would be great. 

thanks!

Looks like you got a Duncan coral with 3 or 4 heads.  I’m probably going to buy one myself in a few weeks.  They’re known to be one of the hardier LPS corals.

Oh, fantastic. I was not ready for LPS. lol 
Now I'm scared for it haha
I suppose if it survives I can try out some other LPS frags. haha.

It’s photosynthetic, but it also loves to eat and actively does.  I’ll probably squirt some brine shrimp onto mine once a week after I fed the rest of my tank.  I had some before and it’s fun to watch the Duncan use it’s tentacles to bring the food to its mouth.  Compared to my Hammer & Frogspawn corals that don’t actively do that so they just get the “brine shrimp juice” from now on. 😉

They are pretty easy to keep happy. Don't need a lot of flow or light. Parameters don't even need to be that stable either. It's a really good LPS to start off with.. as @Seadragon says it will enjoy a target feeding.. but it's not absolutely required. 

You guys have me convinced. Unfortunately none are currently available at LFS and I would have to order from a store in Ontario 🙁.
