Here are 2 pictures of a "Kenya" (sp.) coral I purchased from J&L well over a year ago. Anybody help to identify this one?
This first picture was the main colony, that died last pring, almost from the inside out.
This second is the frag I broke off by accident one day and attached to a rock, over a year ago.
This coral looks to some like a common colt, but its not the same, never seen any more like it. It does not extend very far and grows very slowly. So today I get home and look at it and it's gone, looks like it was chopped right of the rock. Nobody was in the tank doing any maintenance today. So I start looking around for the broken off piece. I finally find it stuffed into a hole about 1" arround with only the ends sticking out and they are all retracted. So I use my tongs and pull in back out, well something had the other end and I only managed a small piece, the rest was pulled into the rock. I never noticed to hole before, I don't have any crabs even close to big enough to cut a 1" arround coral at the base, and drag it 3 feet over rocks into a small hole in a rock. Any ideas what I have in the tank and what I could be up against?? I really hope it does not like SPS. Why couldn't this "THING" like xenia!!!
