orion Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 So, we picked up this groovy little guy today and he seems to like his new home so far. There's only one problem...we have no idea what he is other than some type of coral. (scratch) The LFS didn't know either, so we came to the place where people might know! Any help would be greatly appreciated. (whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 small galaxy coral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Looks kinda like a torch coral to me................Hope it pulls through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 My vote is a very small Fungia. CA2OR had one that looked very similar to that and it is big and doing fantastic now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Can you post a better pic? Maybe when lights are on and it is open. Cause it looks like either a torch, Frogspawn, or fungia to me. Oh...or Galaxy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-3 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Here are a couple more pictures with a macro filter...might help you see it better!! Yeah I would agree with the last couple that it looks like a fungia coral to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 yup and it you leave it on the stalk it comes on it will pop off on it's own accord and will grow another one in its place, so dont throw the stalk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Sweet we will be sure not to throw the stalk away after it pops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 With the Macro shots I would have to agree. That definately looks like a fungia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 you know now with those macro's I do believe it is a fungia...mine looked like that in the beginning too then it turned into this... But you can see the similarities in the mouth here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
