mpugh Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hey guys,  Does anyone one know what these peices of coral are?  Please excuse the curious crab 😂 Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 First is a Cup/Scroll coral. the second is a zoa. If you are looking for a fancy name, got nothing. Quote Link to comment
Rob22 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 First is commonly known as a pagoda cup coral around me. The second looks bleached so really tough to know what colors it will show when it recovers or reproduces. Zoanthid species as stated though. Quote Link to comment

JBM Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 the zoas look alot like my pink and gold zoanthids. Quote Link to comment

All the ones I have ever seen that pale were either from lack of light or bleached from too much light. There are hundreds, if not thousands of color morphs though so it very well could be. A week won’t get a bleached coral to regain its color though. It can take months for a coral to recover. Quote Link to comment
