Coral advise
 

Hi, I am in need of help in identifying another coral in my tank...it’s not in any of the books I have so maybe someone might be able to identify it or point me in the right direction as to where I can begin to search.


Thanks in advance for your help. TJ

Looks like a sun coral to me...

looks like it could be a sun coral, one in need of some good feeding by the looks of the first 2 pics.

I had about two weeks and the person I got it from said he didn’t know what it was...I didn’t think it was a sun coral from the ones I have seen healthy and from pictures....what can I do to bring it back?

when the polyps come out, more than likely at night or when you feed you fish mysis, the tentacles will come and target feed some mysis shrimp

Ok, yeah the polyps do only come out at night when the actinics go off...I will target feed from now on...thx

thats a dendro it needs to be fed

I don't think its a dendro if the polyps only come out at night..... Fishytime is right... Sun Coral. And yes it needs to be spot fed.

Pssst!! A Dendro is a type of sun coral! ;)

But if it was a dendro wouldnt the polyps come out during the day because they are partially photosynthetic, as well as meat eaters?
