received this first frag as a dime sized piece back in 8/04 about the size of a half-dollar now. seems to be growing rather well but not sure what it really is. The second one came on a piece of rubble rock I bought. yuma? Thanks for the help

Kinda looks like a ancan polyp... Is it skeletal or soft like a shroom? Maybe a lobo.

I must say, you've stumped me.

But then again, that's not hard to do.

I will venture a very wild guess and say very polyopy Hydnophora, but i'm 99% sure that is wrong.

What does the underside look like?

the first one gets hard as soon as you touch it the other one is sorta like a mushroom

ereefic · 01-06-2005, 08:52 PM

They one you thought might be a yuma looks like a Rhodactis sp. (Hairy Mushroom).

ereefic · 01-06-2005, 08:54 PM

Think I might have the other one. Polyphyllia sp. (slipper coral)

Looks like the pics were too big to fit the board format, I have a fix for that that I have been working on for a couple days, a new application for the board that will automatically resize the image for you, hopefully get it finished and ready for use this weekend.
