SPS with filter feeding fans
 
I have no clue what this is i bought it as a frag, but its really neat to watch and i wuld like to know what it is so i can look for more.
at various places its got little fans that open up swish around and then retract, i dont know i thats a seperate animal or part of the coral... also it has a green color from above if that makes any difference.[IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee153/link3898/CopyofIMG_1723.jpg[/IMG][/IMG] [IMG][IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee153/link3898/SPS1.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]

I believe we call those barnacles in English. There are many species and some are often found on coral stocks.

barnacles eh? good to know... but have any idea what type of coral this is?

hard to say at this size, plus being a bit deformed, but looks a lot like A. tenuis.
