Googs Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I was at the bar Moloko on Mississippi St. last night and noticed a cool looking coral in one of their three reef tanks. I was hoping somebody could identify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I can't tell if it is a sps or a euphyllia. It's pretty cool looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googs Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Definitely was flowing in the current which is why I put it in the LPS section. The tentacles looked like frogspawn but they were connected together in clumps. I just thought it was pretty cool the bar had these reef tanks. And it's right across the street from the sushi place that the Westside shop owner had breifly which also has some cool tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Was it branching? It could a non-branching frogspawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googs Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Didn't appear to be branching. Seemed to have a core skeleton but I couldn't really tell. Either way, I WANT IT! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrokate Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I think that is a pearl bubble coral. Not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googs Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 I wish they had the regular lights on, not just actinic. Seeing the true color would make this a lot easier. Has anybody else been to Moloko on mississippi? Maybe two doors up from mississippi studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunMonahan Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's called a physogyra, or common name is a pearl bubble. The color is either an whitish-cream or neon green. In high nitrate tanks, this coral is beige Moloko's is an awesome bar. The owner Chris is a swell gent and the bar is worth multiple visits.
