Can Anyone Name This Coral

[mcbdz]

I seem to have some trouble finding this one. Camera is not that great, sorry.

I'm also not that good at taken pics either.

Can you get a closeup of it?
My best guess at the moment would be colonial tunicates.

My lights are out now, but Ill try in the am thanks.

As I said ,between me and the camera. Not too sure.

 

[mcbdz]

Ok, Lets hope these are good enough to get some kind of id.

the coral is about 5 inches. Anybody?

 

[mcbdz]

Nobody even have a guess? ***)

I am no expert, but maybe a green scroll coral? not even 50% sure on that though.

Does resemble Turbinaria, are the polyps always out?

Nice pic. It looks like Hydnophora exesa IMO, or at least a species similar.

 

[fishgeek01]

never thought about hydnaphora, that seems more likely...

:jumping: Yes, I think it is a Hydnophora exesa. Now, does anyone have any real experience with them. How hard are they to keep? :thinking:

Isn't there someone can give info? :help: Anyone have much experience with them?
