Name this coral!

Re: Name this coral!

The LFS said it was a cabbage (I bought it about 6 or 7 months ago, and it's been fine) but I've been curious because it doesn't look anything like any of the other cabbages I've seen...

Re: Name this coral!

hey biif after 400pages I found 4 possible families, 1)Turbinaria, 2)mereulina, 3)Mycedium, or 4)Porites.

1)if Turbinaria it could be pagoda,turban, cup, scroll or vase
2)if Merulina it could be ruffled coral, lettuce coral,ridge or cabbage
3)if Mycedium it could elephant nose coral or peacock coral
4)if Porites it could be mustard hill coral,or plating jewel coral

Hope this helps a little, maybe you can research each individualy to pinpoint which one it is, if any of them. If I could see it in person I might could narrow it down a little more. Its hard to tell in a photo plus there is so many that share a lot of the same features.

Re: Name this coral!

Here's my secret: All you need to do is go out of town for the weekend and leave Neal (the husband) in charge of the tank! That's what happened to mine.
