Sunstar Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's pretty large, when fully out it has massive crown of feathery polyps. I bought it because - soft... fluffy pretty and a nice texture. But what is it? Sort of looks like Xenia but I am fairly sure it isn't I am hazarding a guess its a clove - but a very very large one. I attempted co lour correction. If this is too flumpy to ID, give me a bit to get a better shot. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Looks like a clove to me. When mine is closed, it looks very similar to your 1st pic. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Looks like a much more common Anthelia coral. They grow super fast; almost at an invasive speed. Try to isolate it to one rock or the sandbed if at all possible otherwise they can get out of control. Link to comment

Cloves appear to have a bit more color to them. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Actually I'm pretty sure they're closely related, so technically, you were right as well. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks a bunch. Its sitting on its plug buried into the sand bed. I find the plugs ugly. Link to comment
