Yumarattler Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I bought a couple frags the other day and can’t remember what these are. I need to start writing down the names when I buy them. Quote Link to comment
MrsK Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'm not really good at identifying yet, still a noob, but the first pic on the left looks like clove polyps to me. The one on the right might be encrusting montipora, but I'm not 100% sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 First pic: Left side: Clove Polyps Right Side: Encrusting Monti I have no idea about the second pic. Quote Link to comment
Cannedfish Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Everyone sure the right side is a monti? From my angle it kinda looks like cyphastrea. My angle has been known to be a strong proponent of ‘Sunday Funday’ so I don’t know how trustworthy it is, but those polyps sure look large... Quote Link to comment
Cintax Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I was thinking cyphastrea too Quote Link to comment

Yumarattler Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 any Ideas on the 2nd picture? Quote Link to comment
Cintax Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hard to say, any other photos? Quote Link to comment
ajmckay Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 2nd image looks to possibly be a pagoda/cup coral (Turbinaria sp.)? Quote Link to comment
Yumarattler Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 These are the only other pics I have right now. When I get home tomorrow I will turn off the flow and take a picture from above. Quote Link to comment
Cintax Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Could be retracted Goniopora? Maybe not, look like more than 24 tentacles... Quote Link to comment
Yumarattler Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I was able to get a hold of the store owner that sold it to me. It is a Hydnophora exesa or horn coral 1 Quote Link to comment
