Got a mystery coral in my shipment today! Can't wait to get it acclimated and see what it is!
 
The guy at the lfs thinks it's a spaghetti leather which it does look like this but brown

It seems really happy at night...weird? I have to cont to try and research...but when I look at it at night it's about 5 inches fully extended. It seems to decrease in length during the day
 
Yep thats the same as mine, happiest and prettiest at night when the lights have gone off. They do need feeding because the dont have symbiotic algae, mine has been doing really well for the last 8 months on a mix of liquid coral foods. I tried slightly meatier foods but it wasnt having it. Nice mystery coral!!!

Sure, i dont know where you are but im in the uk so dont know if the products will be different. I use salifert coral food, salifert all in one and tmc gamma nutraplus.
