G'day All

What coral do you guys call this, at the LFS where we picked this up from we were told it is called finger coral?

Looks like some kind of pagoda cup or some kind of flowerpot

cheeks69 · 07-03-2006, 05:25 PM

Humm similar to Pagoda but much larger polyps but definitely not Gonipora.

Turbinaria

So would the consensus be pagoda?

Looks like a pogoda to me.

billyr98 · 07-16-2006, 11:28 AM

pagoda is my guess too...

baja_01 · 07-28-2006, 01:39 AM

Being as you are in australia, I'll say Duncanopsammia axifuga.

Hey Baja, we finally found out yesterday that this is exactly what it is a Duncanopsammia axifuga.

Thanks.
