BTW give it a little shade, if you look at the pic the shaded head loks great the top heads look cringed.
We just moved to a 155, the 40 gallon was running lights for the 155 when this pic was taken and this poor little coral was not very happy about it. See that bottom head NEVER has it's tentacles out. The other two are usually much more open than they were, the 40 gallon went through hell the past few days, we've been wheeling it all over the apt to make room for the 155.

I love them too! I was pretty sure that's what they were but when the LFS said they might not be I was depressed and had to ask you guys!

I have a branching lobo (it's a rescue) so some of the heads are not as full as others.
But yeah, that's be my guess also.
IME, I have mine on the bottum of a 30 inch tank and the top heads still bleach out from to much light. All the heads around the edges and below look much better.
Feed it. If it's healthy, the feeders can come out as far as an inch!
Pending of course, that that's what it is...
I'll try to find a pic of mine since my lights are off now. Mine is red though.

Yeah I think it's what it is. It's actually splitting heads at the moment, that's why that one head looks more swollen in the picks than others. I've been researching it a little this weekend and it seems to be a rare coral and the one LFS offered us money for it when we showed them a picture. It's one of my favorite corals in the tank though, so it must stay. We feed it quite often, seems to really like Mysis. What do you feed yours?

I'm feeding it a rods food/ cyclop eeze combo.
I should try mysis, but with mine the health seems to go up and down. One minute he's full and happy, the next lots of him is bleached out and his tissue receeds.
When I got it it was stark white and looked like only skeleton though.
I'm still working on him. I think I'll try the mysis tonight!
