Both are Rhodactis, but only the true elephant ear is a killer IMHO & IME.

Thank You SeaHorse Fanatic. This is what I was hoping to hear! I am going to keep it for now - hoping that you are infact right! Perhaps it will work out in my favour but it is a really incredible pice that I would hope to give up based on wrong information. I too believe it is the hairier variety that "eat" fish (Could be me just looking for someone to tell me it's OKAY to keep it though).

Parkinsn is this above post based on the "hairy variety"?

Thanks guys.
