It is an Acan, it's an Acanthastrea hillae.

Got this today, very different... tentacles are MAYBE 2-3 mils long has about 30 heads packed in it. Color I'm sure will improve as it had a rough ride getting here



This I got a few weeks back starting to show great color




Oh by the way, both from Fragalot

Thanks! I'll post some pics once my tank's in a better looking state. Currently dealing with an infestation of flatworms and pyramid snails. Had no idea where the pyramid snails came from and only started noticing them after they killed off 15 of my black foot trochus snails - ugh. Finally found a shell of a common clam underneath one of my blasto colonies - I guess that's where the pyramid snails hitchhiked on. So now my tank's infested with nuisance algae, flatworms and pyramid snails. Just dandy.



No clams and normal snails have been dead/ taken out 2 weeks now so there isn't any / much source of food left for the pyramid snails and about to use flatworm exit so tank should be back to normal in about 2 weeks or so. I don't think the colors of the blastos will change much; just look more 'fleshy' I suppose. Back to war on these little pests!
