Coral Identification

[patmayo]

I just purchased this coral yesterday for my 140 day old tank. In my excitement I forgot to write down the name of the coral. Can someone help please? Thanks

Regards,

Pat

hummm guess I didn't post that right. Can someone tell me the correct way to do it?

Can you post an additional picture with the polyps retracted?

Cheers

How do I make the polyps retract?

Looks like a hydnophora to me.

Fan the coral with your hand.

Most likely.

Pat - I added the photo to your original post. You did the img tags right, all you needed was the url address to the specific picture (as opposed to the picture of the image in the gallery). You were almost there. I believe on PCs you right click the image then go to properties?

I will try that tomorrow evening and try to get another picture.

Regards,

Pat

a bit tough to say from this pic... but I agree that Hydnophora is a good guess. I would not be too surprised though if another angle revelaed something wacky though (a Leptastrea sp.)
