Please post a pic. ;)

 

[nipit8]

here is the pic--what a nit wit--lol

 

[Bifferwine]

Is it a greenish color, and does it have really long tentacles that extend out from it at night?

 

[nipit8]

no and no---it is "fuzzy" during the day--and the fuzz increases in volume and size when lights go out--the skeleton is hard

 

[nipit8]

upon looking at it CLOSELY it does have a greenish tint on the skeleton

 

[nipit8]

i just remember the guy i got it from said it was fairly easy to raise--and it has been--is the pic not clear enough?

 

[Bifferwine]

I'm guessing it's a hydnophora. Does that sound about right?

 

[nipit8]

BINGO--Thats amazing--thanks--its been driving me crazy!!

Well, smack my ass and call me Shirley!! That's exactly what I have been trying to ID! Thank you!!! :bowdown:

LOL you're welcome. They are quite easy corals to keep, very pretty, and grow fast. One caution is that they pack quite a sting, so make sure it can't touch any other corals.
