click on pic... cynarina coral? cant find any pics on the web to get a correct ID.. thanks.

stonedfish · 05-26-2008, 11:17 PM

I have one of those. Mine has green on the outer ring too though. I thought it was a single polyp of an open brain coral?

sasquatch · 05-26-2008, 11:19 PM

open brain? very flat and very nice!

goldenmean · 05-27-2008, 12:02 AM

It does look like an Open Brain (Trachyphyllia geoffroyi) but the mouth seems. . . . . different.

DML08 · 05-27-2008, 12:19 AM

I have been looking all day and cant find it on the web for a correct ID... the only thing that comes close is the cynarina coral or button coral...

prow · 05-27-2008, 12:22 AM

its a button coral (Scolymia vitiensis) a cousin of another button coral (Cynarina lacrymalis), the later is the one i think you keep finding. try a search with the scientific name.

DML08 · 05-27-2008, 12:52 AM

still no luck..

AQTCJAK · 05-27-2008, 10:51 AM

lobophylia I have one in the shop just like it

hma · 05-27-2008, 12:56 PM

The only Lobophylia in the shown colours would be a L. hemprichi, however, she is not perfectly circular and show another form. I have a L.hemprichi, the shown ones is, however, in my opinion a Scolymnia sp. like Prow quite properly said. Indeed, these are also no Scolymnia vitiensis.

Scolymnia vitiensis looks like this one:

prow · 05-27-2008, 06:01 PM

it could be a Scolymia australis. i get the Scolymia genius mixed up. either way it looks like some type Scolymia.

heinz Scolymia are single polyed. i think that is a Lobophylia you got there. the one in question i think is a vitiensis because it has dome shape but it could be a cubensis or australis aswell.

here is a australis

Oh oh ohhhhhh ... there a mistake has appeared with the inscription of the picture Prow, the shown one is no Scolymnia, it is a Symphyllia, sorry! Unambiguously my mistake. The requested animal in the picture is indeed a Scolymnia, there we agree. They seem in the nature in different colours, here this is a green-red Scolymnia australis.

prow · 05-27-2008, 07:53 PM

ahhh i gotchya. i thought i saw it right then wasnt sure, lol.

now watch, it will end up being a baby lobophylia, lol

DML08 · 05-27-2008, 09:16 PM
