my tank

Well, it's only a guess on my part. But what makes me think "not organ pipe" is the feathery texture of the tentacles. BTW I don't know why, but "pipe organ" just seems to roll off the tongue a lot easier than "organ pipe" although I do agree with you that the latter makes more sense from a logical point of view.

Nice tank

Those look like clove polyps,mine glow orange under actinics.Nice coral,but you'll curse them after they over take the tank,sending stalks out to grow new colonies every where Harvey "infested" my tank with them!

thanks guys!

that coral was purchased as a pipe organ, but that was from petcetera..so who knows what it REALLY is...

after looking up pics of a glove polyp coral, it could very well be that species.

as for spreading, there are already 2 polyps on the sandbed below it starting to flourish...I read a "pipe organ can not spread like green star polyps" but if it's a glove polyp, it can? eeks.

I'm pretty sure it is a pipe organ. I have a couple in my tank too. The skeletal base (pipe's) are identical, but the polyp's are quite differant. The pictured one is identical to one I have. The other I have is the more commonly seen one.

have you had them for a while? how's their growth rate?

I've had them about a year and find them to be a very slow grower.
