valcon69 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Picked up a 29 biocube from a friend and this came with it. tank was VERY neglected and this is pretty bleached and a good portion has died off. I have no idea what it is. Polyps are a couple inches across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 lobophyllia coral. at first I thought it looked alot like calaustrea but after you mentioned the 2 inch sized polyps and neglect it seems to be more of a branching lobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I have seen some pretty nice candy canes in my day, the classic green, kryptonite, striated green, teal, red, red & green mouths, and a pinkish teal. I bet there are some pink ones out there some where. But yeah a lobo would be my guess, from my experience keep it out of direct bright light for it to get its colors back.
