New pick up, indentification?

[GregEmmitte]

Just picked this piece up, LFS said it was a branching sun coral.

ive got yellow sun coral, black sun coral and pink sun coral.

not seen a "sun coral" like this.

looks like dendro to me.

what say you?

Looks like a sun coral to me....

[GregEmmitte]

These are the pink and yellow sun corals I'm used to seeing.

In any event it's pretty cool because I don't have one that color.

[ReefWeeds]

I think it's just another variant.  the base looks like a sun coral to me.  Hard to tell what they will look like until the polyps come out. What part do you think doesn't look like a sun?  The long polyp one with clear polyps in your photo is a dendro....

[GregEmmitte]

It's mostly the light shade of pink

If you look I have two fat head dendros in there. Just the one in the back is newer and wasn't fed as well as my other one. It's looking better than when I first got it though

Looks more like sun thsn dendro. Dendro's tubes look different. They aren't as clustered 

[gone_PHiSHin]

i would definitely say sun coral.

 

side note, i'm about to buy a dendro for my tank.  how often do you guys feed dendros?

[GregEmmitte]

Every day.

Yea it's a sun coral. You can see the yellow tentacles starting to pop out. It's a pretty rad color though and doesn't match my other dark pink, black and yellow ones.

[gone_PHiSHin]

that's a cool formation, we're gonna need a pic when all the polyps have extended!

[GregEmmitte]

Most def

[Clown79]

Dendro need frequent feedings, at least every other day.

I'm draining some mysis right now. I'll turn the current off and see if I can get more pe.

I have a "Hidden Cup Coral" Phyllangia americana that hitchhiked with my live rock. I didn't even discover it until about 6-7 months after getting the rock. It survived all that time without being spot fed.

 

Now I feed it every other day at least. A new baby head popped up on a different rock just a couple weeks ago.

 

The other day I caught the larger or the two literally eating a whole dwarf cerith snail!! Pics of it on my thread if anyone wants to see them. 

[GregEmmitte]

Awesome! I was finally able to find it specifically. It's a bicolored sun coral. I knew it was sun as soon as it fed, but the color scheme made me think dendro when I first bought it.
