Can anyone help me identify what this is? About 9 months ago, I had a kenya tree on the top of my scape, then removed it and gave it to a friend. Now, this little thing has been growing for the past month or so and popped up out of the rock work. Don't know if it's a little piece of the Kenya...

Hey could someone id this one for me? Looks like the birdsnest coral. But i cant seem to find any that look like this one

Hey all, I recently started up my first reef tank & decided to snag a few "starter friendly" frags from my LFS to place in QT while I finish getting my display tank prepped. Unfortunately, the LFS didn't really provide the specifics as to what any of the frags were. I've been able to match most...

Can someone confirm this is a gold polka dot acantho????

Was sold both of these as hammers, I don't belive the one in the right is I thinks she is a torch, help identify these 2 please

Hello Everyone , recently acquired this super cool zoa , which is almost like a dark maroon with a very distinct neon red ring , and a light bluish/white mouth , also large puffy heads much larger than average zoa , does anyone know the name ? Apparently they are pretty new. Also does anyone...

IDK what coral this is but the polyp extension has been super great and wonder if it will explode even more. I’m thinking it’s a stylo but haven’t found any close to this coloration. purple with blue rings and yellow polyps. Would like to frag this as well

After cleaning my nano tank after upgrading from IO to Red Sea coral pro salt (A1 stuff) I was scrubbing algae off a couple coral and seen a white skeleton growing on the underside of the pipe organ. Not sure if it’s an Acro???

Hi guys, recently been seeing these sold as “mini hammers”. Never really seen many till about 3 years ago. Even more common now coming out of bali and maricultured. They have rounder tips, smaller thinner skeletons. They definitely dont look like the normal hammers im used to seeing here in...

Just wondering if this a stylocoeniella????? Im planning on encrusting some rock work with this coral and im looking forward to some nice polyp extension

It’s for like a mushroom with fat tentacles but not a torch, I’ve also seen other color variations such as green mouth and purple tentacles

Seen this at LFS and like the coloration. Just confused as to why it look as if it’s dying? Any help on ID the type of mushroom if it one

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?
