Dave Scheiner Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I got this at the LFS it was called a doughnut coral. I've searched and I pretty sure it is a scolymia coral, but I've only seen them in red and pink. :| Link to comment
Dave Scheiner Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 This should be a larger picture. The coral is about 5 inches in diameter. Link to comment
Yves Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Looks like Echinophyllia to me....but I'm no expert. Link to comment
Acoustic Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I would like mine with sprinkles please. It looks like a sunken scholemia or a plate coral with excess tissue. Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Yeah I think it's a scolymia, albeit of the 'pancake' genus . Here's mine and what yours should look like if you get it back to inflation: Link to comment
Dave Scheiner Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 He never gets much thicker. He's in a low current area but close to the lights. I feed him a little piece of shrimp about every other week or so. Sounds he might be hungry.:ermm: Link to comment
