I got this coral about more than 4 months. It came only a mouth with pink tentacle color, now I got around 5 to 6 mouth...but I really didn't know what the ID of this coral...Please help me for a definitive ID.

Thank you in advance,
Tony

Hey Tony,
A few more pic's may help, along with a description of the growth form and skeleton. Taking a shot in the dark, I'd agree with Rob. Echinophyllia.

Tony,

Please take a better pic of it. Ive seen it in person and doesn't look like echinophyllia Ive seen but who knows I'm probably wrong. What it looks like to me is a cross from the mushroom and lps. On the left side there are a few mouth on it but then it divides (look at the picture there is a line that divide the left and right. Coral looks very fleshy.

It might be an echinophyllia of sometype but reguadless its a very interesting piece.

Hi Randy,

Here is the new picture I just took it today....The pink tentacle will come out at night time. It's long tentacle around 1" to grab to the food at night.

Thanks,
Tony
