Coralite, I'm not actually at home at the moment, so the pic will have to wait. That said, I think it does have a conical shaped base. It appears to me when the polyp is retracted that it goes quite deep into the base. The base that it resides in is probably 1 to 1.5 inches deep. The second polyp that is growing on the side seems to be developing a base for itself? In the last few weeks there is a white material developing behind the newer polyp, and it almost looks to be a sponge, but I don't think so, I think it is developing its base. I will take pics of the polyp retracted and the white base behind the newer polyp. This is good stuff, seems we may be getting somewhere!
