MrYenko Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Need help IDing a coral thats on one of my rocks. Its base encrusts the end of one of my bottom rocks, and the polyps that come out strongly resemble Xenia, each polyp with 8 arms, no more than a few millimeters across each, each arm with very small sub arms...Each arm resembles a saw blade. They're a brownish color, with a purplish brown base. There must be 20+ polyps there. Theres a few others around the tank, individually, that are white instead. Ideas? Link to comment
