coral id

[ronj]

i bought this coral today... i beilive it is just a common sarcophyton..it is yellow..i guess just a yellow variation of the toadstool leather...i am just checking to make sure it is not a figi leather..it has a stalk, so i am guessing that it is not..i want to be sure

Not sure what that is Ron, But I like the looks cool..

 

[ronj]

there are 3 of them..they are all atached to one rock!! the polyps aren't extended yet..it will probably take a few days..i will get pics when the polyps open

Looks like one to me.
Why don't you want it to be a Fiji leather?

 

[ronj]

i hear that they are a bit difficult to keep...i may need to put them in stronger lighting..i need to be sure of what they are

yellow leather

looks like a fiji yellow leather to me as well. i had to get rid of one that was in a low light tank

 

[ronj]

the figi leathers don't have stalks, from what i understand...my coral has three stalks, one for each cap

 

[ronj]

here are some pics of my leathers...the polyps opened a few days ago..it seems to be doing really well..apparently, it is a figi leather..the stalks are there, they are just shorter on figi leathers..in the background you can see a few of my toadstools that i fragged.
