Nice, we don't see very many black corals.
Do you feed it during the lighting period for polyps to open?

It opens up once in a while during the day and I have fed it during the day, but so far its not opening this fully during the day. I might need to move it to an area with a little less light, but then it gets hard to feed it. Its in a spot now thats perfect for feeding. This was taken if I remember right about a half hour or so after lights out so thats when it is getting fed most often.

Great picture!! Glad to see it's doing well. Mine rarely has any polyps open, during the daytime. I really need to work more on "training" it to feed during the day.

Try frozen cyclopeze, Cyclop-eze, whatever it is. I fed some tonight just after the daylight went out and actinic lights still on and they came out full bloom. Just beautiful. Thanks again Mike. This coral is gorgeous.

Looks like a duncanopsamia(duncans). Very cool looking.

Your right, it looks an evil version of my duncan coral. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for one of these.
