drunkenmonk21 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Ok got this on a piece of live rock, Its rock from Florida if that helps. The tentacles are a pretty clearish green color. Its coming out of what looks like a hard calcified body. Thanks, Josh Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Almost looks like some type of euphilia. Link to comment
cheryl jordan Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I am going with a type of Dendrophyllia, possibly a cup coral. Link to comment
drunkenmonk21 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I think cup coral might be it, the images I searched for cup coral seem to look like this coral. Thanks Link to comment
Trick Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Cup coral do not have a skeleton like this one does. I believe it is a balanophyllia. They can be expensive depending on color. They need to be fed. Link to comment
IamTomm Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Its not a blano, They are generally yellow/orange. Its a wild lps more closely related to a denro and suncorals. Not sure if they are photosynthetic or not but seem to do well without constant feedings. Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have 3 of these on my florida rock, someone IDd them as hidden cup corals. They have clear dotted tentacles, like to be fed. Link to comment
drunkenmonk21 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 http://www.notteesale.it/images/010fotosch...rasolitaria.htm Balanophyllia This seems to be almost identical down to the skeletal structure. Its lights out now and they seem to be extended a great deal more. By the way if you read the description of it in the link, it is in the Dendrophylliidae family, so everyone may have been a bit right Here is a pic at night. oh so should I be feeding this, and how often once or twice a week?

metrokat Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yup, exactly like mine. Online it says they like to be in the shade, mine are doing good in the light with flow too. I feed them an itty bitty pellet once a week, they like frozen shrimp too. Mine: Link to comment
Trick Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I feed my dendro's nearly every day. It's as often as i can feed them. The more often they are fed the more they will grow and "bud". Link to comment
drunkenmonk21 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 The ones on my Florida rock seem to have a green tint to them btw, but yea they are the same!! Thanks to everyone for the replies, Link to comment
