name that coral

[sirruckus]

Hey guys,

can anyone name these corals for me?


These are similar to Zoas, but I think they have another name:



This is a soft coral

[monocus]

first one looks like a flower pot,second a finger leather,third blastio

[fishytime]

Tom, Dick and Harry.....or what he said^^^

[sirruckus]

The blasto is the correct name (double check with google)

the suggestion of flower pot and finger leather I couldn't confirm.

Any other suggestions? See new pictures under daytime lighting, also added what I always thought was an "brown open brain coral"

Try a search for goniopora and devil's hand corals and see if you find a match.

Could be, the softies are tough to differentiate sometimes.

hmmm I think your onto something - I think it could be a "sinularia flexibilis"

or what might be called spaghetti leather coral? - this guy shrivels down at time but for the most part blooms out - seems to like intense light and good flow
