    not to sure. it is an amazing piece though. stung the crap out of my green acans though so i just sold it last week. it fell off my rock onto the whole colony and nearly wiped it out to a full skeleton besides the acans mouths but ive been feeding it every day since then and it is 90% healed back fully now only a tiny skeleton showing.

    Sir Patrick...that last photo looks like a mirulina to me?? The other 2 are definitely hydnophora.
