Mystery Coral

[nxb161]

From my two tanks this is the last coral that I can't quite name. I always ask before I purchase, but I'm so excited to get them acclimated in the tank, I don't always write it down before I forget.... When I first got it (2 months ago or so) there was one lobe and a tiny tiny second lobe. So it has grown.

Let me know if you need a better pic, this pic makes it look like a polyp (but I know its not)

Looks like brown button polyps to me.

Yep, they're brown button polyps.

oh yeah? Thanksm I really didn't think they were. Not that this matters, but they're more pink than brown. They're more oval than round. I actually have some brown button polyps about 6" to the right of these... I just find it hard to believe they're the same thing.

Haha, okay then they are pink/brown button polyps.

yes yes, I assumed as much. I was surprised about them being button polyps not the color They just seem to react different. I'm just surprised I paid $10 for a single polyp. I thought I was told it was something different, that's all.

They are just palythoas. Some fancy colored 1's are pretty high priced.

Thanks Larry, I think that name rings a bell.
