Welcome to Reef Sanctuary!! If you choose to buy that coral, be sure to keep it 7-8" away from all other corals. It is VERY aggressive and sends out looooong sweeper tenticles. Here is a pic of mine 'sweeping'....

sindacate · 02-02-2006, 10:36 AM

well im 100% sure its not a galaxea. Anybody else have a opinion? It some type of sps. Green Polyps come out of it like a danae.

Woodstock · 02-02-2006, 10:53 AM

Humm... can you get a closer pic of its polyps when retracted and when inflated?

sindacate · 02-02-2006, 11:30 AM

ok 2 pics, one polyp in, one polyp out

Woodstock · 02-02-2006, 12:11 PM

Sorry, but I can't get a good look at its skeleton nor it's polyps from those small photos.

blue_eyes53813 · 02-02-2006, 12:19 PM

Well another guess here but I found a picture in my book. dichocoenia or star coral, elliptical star coral. I will try to find a picture online of it.

blue_eyes53813 · 02-02-2006, 12:42 PM

Nope I take that back... I found this picture. leptastrea or crust coral.
