coral id

[Davy]

my boss/friend bought a coral on a bit of an impulse and neither one of us can really find any info on it, so any help would be certainly appreciated

Looks like a ricordea to me. ..

 

[audifeesh]

i would say some type of acan or blasto.... but im definitely no expert

 

[fsn77]

I'm thinking it's a Scolymia... But could use a better pic and some idea of its size.

 

[Cerianthus]

I was either thinking Scolymia or Cynarina.
If this is frag pc, probably Acan which are much more common than Blasto frag.

Is that the skeleton or the actual coral? Has it opened out yet?

 

[Cerianthus]

That is opened I believe.

 

[audifeesh]

scoly is a good call. i change my vote to that.

and its just really hard to tell without a reference for size. i was working off the assumption that it was small frag based off how it's on the one rock. could be wrong though.

 

[Cerianthus]

Has anyone seen Scolymia or Cynarina frgs on plug? I have not.

Has anyone seen Scolymia or Cynarina frgs on plug? I have not.

Looks like the coral either settled on a base like that or it was simply glued to it. Either way, I'd agree that it is probably a Scolymia species, though a better picture would be helpful.
