Any idea what this is?
Sorry for the bad picture, and the coral is in pretty rough shape. This was just shipped in yesterday.
Its about as big as a plate and has one big center mouth, and a new one starting off to the right hand side. Its reminds me of a giant blasto polyp. Once it looks better maybe it will be easier to ID. But for now.. ?? http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y24...wncoral004.jpg |
Scolymia vitiensis? Pg 132 of Sprung's reference guide. Looks similar.
|
I will second the vote for Scolymia vitiensis aka Donut Coral, but the ridges of the skeleton are really close together, so maybe not.
|
I have a few scollys and they dont look like this much. My scollys ribs are farthur apart and are more arching. Also this seems to be cloning off to the sides.. which I WISH my aussie scollys would do:mrgreen:
Heres a pic of the baby Attachment 3035 If it IS a scolly.. once it puffs up its never going to fit in my tank.. it must be 8" in diameter. |
Chip that baby off, and send it to me! I will be able to do a better identification that way. ;)
|
Ohh that babys coming off as soon as the coral gets settled. There are two more starting to form on the other side.
|
Let me know when you want to sell it...I like it. You know, I've seen this coral before too, and I just can't place it.
|
it is a scolly.
|
I think I found it
it looks pretty much like this.. even the green color with a purple edge.
