coral id

Hey yall. I've had this specimen for 3 years now. I've never seen another like it. With that said, has anyone else seen one like it before? A double mouth gold scolymia.

What coral is this? The LFS said it's acan. I'm thinking it's a croc island scoly, it's only abt 1 inch so I'm deciding if it's worth it to buy since ik scolys don't really grow much.

Was shocked to see a very different type of soft coral in 2 feet of water on the fore-reef (Rasdhoo Island, Maldives) the other day. This area is very shallow with high temps and a fair amount of turbidity (suspended sand particles if the waves are slamming). The coral is very stiff (wave...

This guy came in on newly bought live rock this Sunday. It glows orange under the blues which is what originally caught my eye. About the size of my thumbnail. I’m hoping whatever it is will live through then cycle. I’m thinking it might be a mushroom of some type but am not 100%. Sorry for the...

Can anyone help me with the name of the coral ? Placement and care ?

I am about 99.99% sure that this is frogspawn but my LFS said it was a hammer. I’m assuming because one of them wanted it and they knew I already had hammers. Second, is this a beneficial sea star? Appeared out of nowhere.

Hello everyone, Could someone please help me ID this chalice? Thanks!

Was moving around my scape and just barely caught a glimpse of this guy and was hecka confused. Took a closer look and figured I’d just ask for help identifying it I’m thinking a pseudo but not quite sure.

Got this new frag yesterday, looks to be doing good. Anyone know what this coral is?

So I'm not entirely convinced this is even a critter or hitchhiker, I've had this ricordea in my tank for awhile now and haven't added anything new in over a month. Found this random green growth on the rock my mushroom is on. It almost looks like a coral forming? I have no idea. Anybody have...

Hey hey! Need help with an ID on the torch Gold and blue stems with green tips

Can someone help with ID'ing these?

I got this a month ago from the lfs and other than it be a "supernatural" encrusting coral i didn't get any other information about it. Probably should have asked more questions but I was excited as always at the coral store. Mainly I want to know the type so I know how to care for it best. It...

All located in northern madagascar, any help would be super appreciated!

Hi y'all! I was recently browsing online on some livestock websites, and I came to the realization that almost none of the listings for acropora had scientific names! This bugs me a bit, because not many people take the time to list the species names, which may be important in the future...

Hi guys, hope you’re all doing well. I picked up a new piece for my tank today, was told it was a lepto but couldn’t find it when I googled it. I was told it was a long polyp lepto, is anyone able to identify it for me? It’s mainly orange with green/yellow center in each head. I will post...

So what's the differences between these two or are they the same just with one being the "fancy" name to charge more or what?

This was sold to me as a seduction zoa, just wanna verify it is. Either way, I love it.

Got this guy for like $20 and he was super pretty, but never got a name. He kinda looks like a Sunny D's but not sure. Any help is appreciated!

Got a new zoa but never got the name, picked him up for like $15, so not expecting anything crazy, just loved the neons. Any one know the name?

Hi, sorry one more for identification. Grown from a small frag....possibly a Homewrecker? I’m useless at names.....

I have this Xenia (i think) that is growing out of control in my tank. I am trying to figure out what type of xenia it is so I can better figure out how to get rid of it or at least cut back some of it. I have posted a picture but this is like 2% of the total amount of it in my tank. It is...

I accidentally dropped this guy behind a rock about two months ago. Finally found him, and he’s just slightly purple at the tips now— is he going to make it? Also, what the heck is this guy? I forgot what they called it at my LFS. I think they said galaxia but idk. Thanks!

Got this live rock the other day with a little leather like coral attached. Can anyone I’d this for me. It was more extended in the shop. thankyou!

I just got my second world wide coral sub box and I think one of the corals are mislabeled because it doesn't look like a zoa? It was labeled a pandora zoa, but it's rather large? Maybe it is. who knows. See photos attached.
