encrusting coral

For me this has been a hard question to google so I'm bringing it here. I've only ever kept softies, so I'm unfamiliar with all the nuances of maintaining hard corals. In my inexperienced opinion, they seem to be ironically way more sensitive than softies despite having tougher exteriors. What...

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?

I have some fully aquaculutred corals for sale. These have been in my systems for years and all cut corals are fully healed and encrusted. Shipping is $40 or free at $300. Standard 2 Hour DOA just send me a photo of the dead coral both in and out of the bag within 2 hours of delivery time. I...

Changing out my rock work and I have a beautiful electric daisy stylo that I placed on the rock work a while back. It has since spread around 3 inches in circumference. What’s the best way to remove it from the rock work to I don’t kill it. I’m looking to see if I can get a stone saw to try to...

The polyp extension amazing. Just wanted to share this. Comment with your styloconiella coral I dragged this twice so far. I’ll continue to frag this one. As I have others and seen other stylo but never seen polyps put out like brooms

Hello I got this encrusting coral a few weeks ago and it seems to be growing really well. However I’m not totally sure what it is. I asked the associate at my LFS if it was a monti and they said no. But they couldn’t think of what it was at the moment. I got it on around Feb 7 and it has grown...

Hi everyone, bought this encrusting sps, looks maybe like a leptastrea of some kind but I don’t see any kind of big polyps, maybe it’s closed but not too sure, any help with an ID would be great

Favorite encrusting coral? Hi R2R community! First time posting a question on R2R. I’m not new to the hobby, been in and out of the hobby for nearly 30 years since I was in middle school, but it’s been about 15 years since I’ve last built a system, and boy have things changed!. Over the last 8...

Hey all! Just got this little fella yesterday and I’m not positive what it is. It’s deep purple with teal flecks (maybe the mouths??). No visible polyps at all even during a feeding routine.

Hi Friends! Can anyone help with identifying this coral? The base is white and the polyps are a neon green/yellow. Thank you in advance!
