I have had this coral for at least two years and it has done very well. I have never been able to identify it but have found similar corals.
Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks

Geeze - I dont believe you have one- i have looked everywhere for one- it is called the invisible coral- you can imagine that they are very hard to find!:D

Are you sure it is a flower pot.
That is an old pic of the coral and since it has gotten larger.
The base is about as big around as a quarter and then turns in to a large stony cup shape. Then it has all those polyps all over it.
Flower pots i have read to be hard and do not live long and i have managed to keep this coral for at least two years under the conditions of my tank. (low light)

I agree that it looks like some type of pagoda...below is a pic of mine...I have seen some very interesting shapes and colors of pagodas. Very interesting looking one that you have. I don't believe I've ever seen one that lightly colored. I have seen them with longer extension on the polyps like yours but never a cream color.
:cool:

The polyps are usually more extended, up to about 1/2 and inch. That is an old pic but after i changed to different light bulbs
the center of each polyp glows green.
I feed mine krill, brine, and what ever else i have and it gets most of the fish food also.
When i first got it I thought it might have been the pagoda becuase of the polyps. But the shape and the color made me think it was not.
