That large skeleton in the upper back LOOKS like a potato chip coral, lettuce coral, whatever you like,
just the way the lobes are oriented....Pavona Species anyway. If we are talking about the same thing.
I need to watch the video again to see what it is that you say ?self-fragged? maybe?
Not sure what you were saying. I think Lance can tell you the dangers of Rhodactis. It's like the green
star polyps of the mushroom world, lol.

OK, I looked on the previous page and see now what you are talking about. If that is 'supposed' to be,
or as you put it, smacks of a leather coral, then I think you have a Porites species there. If it is blue, then
that is reaslly something. I wish I had that. They are also tough to keep alive, put em way up top once you
feel it is acclimated, turbid water and MAYBE target feed? They tend to be out much more at night when in
captivity, so if you can't get it eating in the daytime, you may have trouble keeping it alive. This is the
species of coral that you often see called "worm rock", "Christmas-tree worm rock" or "Bisma rock" It's one
of my personal favorites, if in fact that's what it is. Of course the bisma rock is a much different TYPE of porites.
And I only THINK that's what it is, but that's a great pic, btw.
