New coral

[Masoniac]

I picked this up yesterday and the guy was unsure of what it was and he threw it in for free since I spent so much any ideas?

Looks like a blasto to me.

Looks too wavy to be a blasto, probably some type of brain, like a favite.

I agree with brain (favite) Nice score that looks to be $30.+ coral no doubt

 

[Masoniac]

Cool thanks guys. Trying to find nice stuff to fill the sand bed.

Go for an elegance, or a scoly.

 

[54seaweed]

fox coral , elegance , bubble , open brain , there's a bunch of options

I personally like fungias. They have a mind of their own though, don't leave anything that can sting near them, cause they might wander into it ._. That's how I lost my pinwheel fungia.

For the sand bed I really like my elegance coral. It's overpowering a few things in this picture as I had nowhere for it to go until I moved things around but they're pretty gorgeous.

I also just love my orange plate coral. Neat sand bed touch. Sits right beside my clam which is also pretty cool.

Alyx, what's the orange pillar like thing to the left of the elegance?

 

[alyxandria]

It's a tree sponge. Hasn't really grown since I got it but things are only just starting to grow now in my system. Haven't really found a nice spot for it either. Pretty hardy. Can't be exposed to water or it'll die.

I would move that brain before elegance decides to sting it , I lost 2 brains like that

Sounds pretty hardy!

Sounds pretty hardy!

LOL she meant air

 

[Sniperhank]

Yep. Air to ANY sponge will kill it.

I moved it the day after I had just brought a box of corals home from a flight and had gotten in at 1am so just dropped everything in there after acclimating (and snapping a few photos lol) and went to bed lol.

And by hardy the sponge survived being covered in Dino algae and hair algae and everything until I got it under control haha
