coral ID please

[integral9]

can anyone tell me the name of this coral. Got it from a another hobbiest, but he didn't know either. He just called it "Golden Rod".

 

[theappe3]

thats looks like some sort of SPS. acropora maybe?

 

[integral9]

definately an SPS. I think it's a branching variety, not acro. I can't find it on any site. The hobbiest said it was rare. The peice in his tank was like 2 -1/2 ft long with just 3 braches.

Bali Slimer? Acropora Yongei
(Staghorn Acropora)

Acropora Yongei sounds good to me..

BULL! It is a gorgonian! it is often calle da yell0ow spiny. Does it sway in the curent? If so, gorgonian, if not, sps, and I am wrong. But most likely, these people are dumb, and the voral isa gorgonian. No offense.

I could see where a newb could confuse the two.....
Here's a gorgonian

 

[alex4286]

lmao i have a gorgonian.. that isnt anything close to his picture..

 

[integral9]

Bali Slimer it is. I have another pic of it w/ the actinics on and it's a bright green. I posted the yellow pic since the hobbiest said it was "golden rod" and I thought that might help.
Thanks guys.

Was that serious???

 

[hogs]

It looks like millepora

i agree with bali slimer. just has some extreme PE. its really close to impossible to be exact though without a close up and skeletal analysis and what not.
