I have a coral like this. It has lime green inside each bubble. I was told it was a brain. I found this photo on the internet. It called it a oceana phylum bryozoan. I cant find any more info. Anyone?

not an elegant coral. I cant tell by the pic off hand waht it is but this is oceana phylum bryozoan.
or I should say on quick research this is the results I came back with. Nice pic.
hopefully someone else can give you more info.
it looks like a LPS of some kind to me.

the only "brain" corals in my book are lobophyllia, Lobed brain coral or trachyphyllia, open brain coral. sorry no pics. They are both lime green

Looks like Cynarina lacrymalis
Its not any bryozoan, they are in a different Phylum than corals. Most look like structured sponges or sea fans...

I second the Cynarina-great coral..especially if it reddens up with the proper food and light.

I agree it think it is a cynarina lacrymalis. They come in dark, and pastel. I dont think we will know until I can get a good picture of it. I feed it a piece of shrimp every other nite. When the lights are off it has tenticals that come out. The tenticals stick to the food and bring it to the mouth in the middle. It takes about 20 min for it to get the food inside. I will try to put a picture on tomorrow.
