Sorry for the overly blue pictures - I'm still trying to figure how to take realistic pictures on my I phone - any ideas appreciated.
Anyway, I bought the attacehd coral because I really liked the conical (barnacle/tunicate) look to the heads. It has a striking green (almost neon) body with almost electric blue/purple polyp mouths (I have a radion XR15). It is quite fleshy and just a really neat looking coral. The pictures do not give the coral's color justice. I also see some fairly long sweeper tentacles at night - about an inch. It readily feeds with its large mouths as well. The LFS didn't have an id on it and thought it was in the favia family. I tend to think so too but I cannot find any favia or favites resembling the completely separated polyp heads. The separation is very distinct, almost creating volcano looking polyps. The closest thing I have been able to find in similar structure are a few cyphastrea types but the coral overall resembles the favia family more readily. I am at a loss and sifting through thousands of pics has got me nowhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
