coral identification help!

LilMisMermaid · 02-26-2008, 05:12 AM

Sorry for the circle around the bristle worm, lol. I'm not sure what this coral is, I know it's not a full picture, sorry again! It sits on a small rock base, and
constantly limps. I've tried moving it around the tank but no difference.
My water parameters are good

Ammonio 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 0
pH 8.3
Salinity 1.25
kh 11
Calcium 400
Phosphates 0

The picture is kinda blurry, but it sort of looks like a sponge.

Ditto what Michael said, could you get a better pic one that includes the base?

Looks to be a carnation coral. Can you get a better picture of it? Does it open at all when the lights are off?

That's what I was thinking Matt. The "limp" description and the color are give aways.

other common name is Chili coral If thats what it is they prefer a shaded area and will extend little white polyps at night
