Coral ID?

[AKReefing]

Coral ID? These two frags are identical in structure. They have polygonal structures, but aren't necessarily recessed. Each poly is about 1/8" across. No idea what they are. Any ideas?

I would venture a psammacora or leptoseris coral.

Unsure.. looks like lepto??

Possibly. Doesn't resemble my others, but it's similar enough to google.

Close enough to research. Thanks

Not a leptoseris, might be a psammo but I'm not quite sure about that.

I'm not sure. My frags look like neither and both at the same time.

Psammocora nierstraszi

Leptoseris would not have tentacles scattered around petaloid septa

Very similar, but mine have tiny visible mouths rising above the polyp.

I guess it doesn't really matter. Whatever they are, we just call them the polygon corals.

Nierstraszi can havd that too; SPS mouths are less visible in the wild

That's what we're thinking. Funny that ours look so much more colorful and healthy than what we saw on the internet.

Most wild corals are not as colorful and do not have as much polyp extension as in captivity; doesn't necessarily mean they're not as healthy.

Exactly. IME, polyp extension really has little bearing on whether a coral is healthy.
