Coral ID

[DmitryB]

I got a shipment of frags from Dr. Reef. One was supposed to be a Rasta Torch, but got nice Rasta Zoas instead. And another was supposed to be a Blastomusa Wellsi, but is actually this one. Can anyone ID this?

Looks like someone screwed up.

I've been in touch and they're not denying it; said they'll include the correct items in my next order. So I have no complaints. Just curious what this coral is now that I have it!

The Jack-o-Lantern Lepto they sent (which I did order) is stunning; not a tiny frag, but a very decent sized head.

Place your jack lepto far away from other corals you dont want melted into oblivion. Its the only coral ive had with 6+" sweepers. I also had a hollywood stunner with 8+" sweepers.

It could also be a psammocora. Its kind of giving both vibes to me.

Leptastrea and Psammacora always get me too. Lol. In the end its the helping others that matters my friend.

Came home last night to find someone took a bite out of this. The only inhabitants of the tank are snails, hermits, Coral Banded Shrimp and a Biota baby Coral Beauty. I guess that's the most likely suspect? Could a quarter-sized tank bred Angel do that? I'm hoping this won't become a habit and he's just hungry. For the most part since I got him he's been hiding in the rocks. Rarely peaking out. Never coming out to eat when I feed the tank. It's been about a month since I got him.
