I picked up this hammer coral but I dont know what its called. The guy at the lfs said it might be a toxic hammer but to me it looks more like an Australian splatter but the teal base on the stems throw me off. I like to know the names of all my corals so I would like to know what this one is...
Hi all,
I'm assuming this is a zoa/button polyp that hitchhiked on some live rock/my decorator crab, does this look like a paly to you?
It seems like one to me, I know they are more toxic and I am wondering if I should grab some PPE to remove it now if I don't want to constantly deal with the...
Hey!
I bought this yesterday and assumed it was Ricordea Florida but the polyps and colours look weird. It doesn't quite look like Yuma either? I'm unsure what I have...
Any ideas?
Not the best photos but the best I could get.
Not new to reefing but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had a coral tank (12yrs to be exact). My new tank has been up and running for months now. 140g with 40g sump fish and coral tank. Corals are all frags so it’s hurry up and wait time. So many new variants of coral since I left the hobby...
I was gifted what I believe is a type of encrusting monti and am curious as to if this is a named monti? the way the colors are bleeding is unique to me and I can’t find any like it online it was from a coral shipment overseas it was a hitch hiker so im guessing it’s a no name monti
Hey Reef2Reef,
My name is Varun, and I’m a junior in high school with a passion for AI and machine learning. As a fun summer project, I’m developing a coral identification app that uses AI to recognize and catalog coral frags. My goal is to apply this technology to help my local mom-and-pop...
So I've had this big shroom for a while... honestly don't know how long... watching my tank tonight and I see this little bugger next to it.
I THINK its a baby shroom. But I also have a few ball anemone in the tank... so im not sure...
Anyone have a thought?
No bigs either way :)
Hi everyone.
I picked up a bunch of coral frags this weekend at a LFS who's haveing a 40% Black Friday Sale through the end of the month. They sold me the below as a hammer (I asked in the store if it was a hammer or a torch) and after having it in my tank I getting to really study it, I think...
Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new and have been trying to find out what type of coral this is. Does anyone know what this is by chance? Thanks in advance for all the help!
I recently won a bunch of coral on some bids from a coral store that went out of business. They threw in this extra coral and I have no idea what it is. It didn’t ship very well and the top portion of it died back a little, but the bottom portion is taking off now. The polyps have changed color...
Bought this encrusting coral the other day. The salesperson just called it an “encrusting coral”. There’s two different ones on the frags, does anyone know exactly what kind they are?
Hi can anybody help me idea this? The guy I spoke to in the lfs wasn’t sure what it was but I got it anyway as liked how it looks. It looks similar to the chalice in this picture to me but without the orange ring. The mouths are orange on mine with a teal/greenish base. WhenI bought it I thought...
I recently bought bunch of corals online and two of them were mysteries. I’m guessing the first one is a montipora and the other is a favia, but I could be 100% wrong. Any help is appreciated.
Hi I picked up these two at the weekend from my LFS. Was told both were Acan but after looking at some other pics struggling to say for sure if they are both Acans or if one or both might be something else like a lobo or scoly any help would be appreciated thanks to fine tune their care.
Got this coral yesterday, maybe it's a pavona? It's looks healthy to you? It's was looking exactly like this on my LFS, my patameters are all nice, I have other SPS doing great on my tank, but I don't have reference and knowledge of this coral. It is on a high flow area under royal blue and UV...
I've been obsessed with videos of Raja Ampat and have stocked my reef with mostly fish and coral native to the region and plan to eventually make it a full biotope. This coral really caught my eye. It appears to be some kind of gold/yellow leather coral but I can't tell what and Inturalist which...
