Looks like a waving hand xenia to me. I also have a yellow cup coral too.

I beleive they are called elongia(sp) not exactly sure on the spelling, my Aquarium Corals book is at work. It looks like the same species in my reef. Do they regularly pulse and have longer (2"-5") arms(for lack of a better word)? If so, thats it. Very cool!! <img src="graemlins//silly.gif" border="0" alt="[silly]" />

Mullethead, Yes the tank is viewed at all sides. It's 3ft by 3ft by 18in with the overflow built in the center. I have three holes drilled in the overflow. One is my drain, one is my return and the other is a dry line I run my cords(from lights) through. They go threw the middle of tank into the stand. This aloows me to sit the tank in the middle of the room with out any exposed wires.
Make sense???

I think they are xenia elongata but hard to tell exactly from the picture. Do they have a pretty thick stalk or thin stalk?

The stalks are pretty thick. And they are growing like crazy!!! I bought a single stock with only 6 hands on it about 3 months ago. Now I have 5 seperate stals that have all split and have 2 and 3 heads. It blows my mind to see these guys grow so quick. They are starting to really spread out. I'm going to slide some rock under there before to long and see if I can't frag them. Here is a better shot.
