thanks guys...
what kind of hydnophora is it?????
it doesnt look like the one on this site...
i looked at the other sites pictures and out of the three diff kinds they have it looks the most like the hydnophora horned coral... its very flourescent green.. i know that pic doesnt show it but it is.
is that what it is???

It's probably Hydnophora rigida or Hydnophora grandis. They're both pretty similar.
