snowpunk Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 not for the most part. it'll get a yellowish rim to it and start to grow in the shape of a cup or a bowl over time. I have one that I could almost eat cereal out of...:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 If you look close you can sometimes see some polyp extension but not much. I have one that started as about a 3/4" frag a year ago that's about 2" now. Most of the growth has been over the last 3 months (It took a long time to take hold and start growing).

Lowman Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 commonly called a Scroll coral. Soutas had one of the nicest ones around years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean In a Box Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I could have sworn I had that piece named in the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reef Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 commonly called a Scroll coral. Soutas had one of the nicest ones around years ago. and I still do, if I may say so myself. (laugh) It is definitely a type of turbinaria that you have there. It will have polyps that come out of it, given it's in the correct environment. Looks like it will be a bit on the yellow side, 10k light could help accentuate this. They are generally very hardy corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
