It looks like a green acanthastrea. Not 100% sure but thats my vote. Nice coral none the less.

Looks like a Favia sp. Don't know the species name, maybe Favia favus. Make sure to feed it when it extends it tentacles at night.

what do you feed that kind?

Avi · #10 06/20/2007, 08:26 AM

My bet is on acanthastra. They like a place in decent but not necessarily intense light...decent flow....and if the flow is shut off for feedings, they will take chopped mysis shrimp that's placed on them with a turkey baster. Keep the flow off for a while, so that they can ingest it. Still, they don't have to be fed and can thrive on the lighting alone.

lighting, i like that kind of food, i didnt know corals needed as much food as the fish,

Bcollins111900 · #14 06/20/2007, 05:10 PM

Er, they're the same color, but different coral.
