cats paw stylophora?
Looking for a proper ID on this coral. Am I correct to assume it's a "cats paw" stylo? I thought I'd have some fun with a camera zoom-in sequence. When I got zoomed in on this thing it reminded me of that old "flying through space" screen saver. Makes my eyes go all
sort of close closer yet even closer

I'm pretty sure that coral is called a "Ruth needs a frag of that" coral. It is very rare - but I notice that you have a few others in your tank with the same name

Colin - I would love to agree with you but unfortunately, in this case, I cannot. You see I am a self proclaimed expert on corals of that particular name

Looks like Pocilliopora to me.

Wow you guys are very scientific, although it seems corals may not be an exact science yet. I had not planned on fragging Mr. Fuzzy quite yet. Thanks Albert, I wondered about that but it is a lot different than the known pocilliopora I have and thought it looked like some pictures I've seen of cats paw.

My vote is pocillipora as well. You will know for sure if you start finding new colonies of it forming all over your tank

It was a volunteer that just grew out of some live rock so the ID sounds logical.
Thanks for the help folks.
