coral identification

What type of coral is this ? what is the name of it ? I bought it from my lfs and was told it’s clove pollyps but it’s been a week and there’s no pollyps to be seen it is alive though. The coral is at the top Middle portion of the photo I attached.

Please can someone tell me hat type of coral this is I bought it not knowing what it is.

Please let me know if this belongs in a different forum category. I have quite a few coral that I’ve acquired and forget the names of. I’m in the USA market (if that matters) so the “designer name” would be helpful as most people here want to know the fancy name or they don’t buy frags. I will...

Hi, I bought this neat purple coral that was only labeled as “leather”. Can anyone help me identify it so I can know better where it might like to be placed in the tank? I tried a couple of spots but it’s hard to know if it will open up more just by waiting or if it wants more/less flow. Thanks...

Hi everyone , got this new torch recently and wondering if there's a name for this guy. Thanks in advance!

I’d love to know more specific names for my softies as many Aussie LFS use very broad terms when selling them. It feels like everything is some type of leather, even if it’s something else entirely. Any ideas on species/names for the corals below? sold as a ‘finger leather’ This guy (the...

Good morning Reefers! I have a 32 Biocube that's been running for a month now... live rock donated from a friend's tank. I LOVE all the life that came with the live rock, but I have NO idea what most of it is. There's a white (almost slime-looking?) growth that "sprouts" little tree-looking...

Hi I saw this favia coral on Aqua SD but I wasn’t able to get. Does anyone know the name of this and where I can find more? Thanks.

G day. Ive got a question I’m looking for a I.D on a coral I have picked up from the local fish shop. Not exactly sure what it is I first thought it is some type of birds nest, it has a purple skeleton with neon green polyps. The shop didn’t seem to be able to tell me exactly what it was as the...

it wasn’t this big when i got it. it just kept growing more and more till it got to this size. and to be completely honest, i kind of like it and would probs prefer it to be on its own with no zoas.

Just received a mystery five pack + freebie from AquaSD. I need help identifying theses. I know that one is a candy cane, and I think I may know what the others are, but I'm not certain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I got these from my LFS and they look like the have a zoa-like polyp, but they're quite tall. Any thoughts?

Can someone help identify this torch coral ?

These were the best pics i was able to get for now, with and without white light(flash)

I’ve underestimated shrooms for to long and finally been adding some found this huge one for a steal and was wondering what kind it might be tia!

Got this frag at a shop, I was told this is Australophyllia Wilsoni. Did some searches and cant seem to find anything like it. The closest thing i can think of is some sort of Acan.

Hi all, I got some frags from my LFS yesterday and could use an ID on one of them. It's a dark orange color with a yellow/green undertone. It's got a fuzzy texture and has little orange bumps throughout. Thanks!

Hi all, I picked up a few frags from my LFS yesterday and need an ID on one of them. It's a reddish orange with a yellow/green undertone with little yellow bumps throughout. Thanks!

I got these zoas about a month ago with no label. Really want to know what they are. Or if they are something new. Any help would be appreciated.

I have two frags that I’m not sure what they exactly are, and I also have a blastomussa which may have aiptasia but not 100% sure. I’ll put the links to videos below. Thanks in advance! 1. https://youtube.com/shorts/fsaeguCaBXo?feature=share 2...

There's some coral growing on my Astrea snail, and I can't figure out if it's Goni, cyphastria, or stylo. If anyone knows that would be greatly appreciated!

I got a ton of coral from my university because they're done researching them and didn't know what to do with them. They're in rough shape because they aren't aquarists (microbiologists). Most have too little flesh to get an accurate ID so I've cleaned the algae off their exposed skeletons, gave...

Hello everyone, I need help identifying this leather coral I bought last night from a reputable coral shop here in Alabama. The owner was actually stumped because it came in a new shipment and doesn’t look like most branching leathers he has seen or ordered previously. It actually had a green...

This mystery coral started to grow a while back. I’ve researched and researched trying to figure out what it is to no avail. It doesn’t seem to bother the other corals so I haven’t tried to dispose of it because I think it’s kind of pretty. It has red coloring and almost reminds me of maple...

Been trying to figure out what coral this is. It came back from an old “dead” mystery frag from 2 years ago that I fried with too high placement and halide lighting. I introduced some red and blue mushrooms. Actually saw the red Polyps a week later and thought I was about to have a bad...
