Turbinate Teeth Coral

KoolFish · 06-27-2007, 03:19 PM

Has any one heard of this coral? My LFS has a couple of these which I am told they are rare. They are supposed to be like a donut coral only with teeth or teeth looking tentacles. They retail for $175 CAN and would like to know more about them before I purchase it. I may try and get a photo of it next time I'm in the store. I did google it with no luck.

Thanks,

Chris

Snelly40: Thanks for the effort!

boozeman: Thanks for the link. That looks like it. Now I just need to figure out if this coral is rare enough to be worth the $175 CAN.

Colorful Scolymias can be quite expensive, so depending on the color it could be the going price.

The ones at the LFS are amazing looking. I was told that his supplier only gets a permit to import 5 a year (maybe just for Canada, dunno).
