Do green bali slimers have tentacles

[GHOSTLY]

So some guy near me is selling a "green bali slimer" but it seems to have tentacles when I was told this species doesn't have tentacles so the question is do slimers have tentacles or is this some completely different coral?

If polyps are longer than a 1/4 inch max it likely isn't a slimer IMO

Do you have a picture. Could be a hydnophora.

These were the best images

Mines a slimer... seems like looks more like that:

Then this (green hydnophora):

But--mine does not have "tenacles"...

Either way cool coral!

If it kills sh *t, i doubt its a slimer. My slimer isnt aggressive

Also, the slimer can have polyps out like the pic you posted. Depends on its mood.

So they do have polyps

Any idea what these corals are?

So they do have polyps

All corals do. I'm confused about what you're asking.

So every time I go to my LFS and see the slimers they never have tentacles you can only see the skin. This time this guy's selling a slimer that has visible polyps. The question is do slimers have polyps or is this a mille or something different

They will have extended polyps if *happy. Could be that something isn't quite right at the store or a fish or invert is picking at them.

Here is a pic of my slimer growing into an unknown acro.

I thought you said that's a surf and turf?

So if I pick up the frag and its happy it will extend right? Also how much flow do these guys need? Just enough for the tentacles to move or do I have to blast it

Neon green is a slimer.
The blue green on the left is surf and turf.

Ohh ok. How much flow do they have cause I don't 2ant to get this piece and give it to much or too little

Here is a better shot.

You can start with medium flow.
My 120 is running 6 powerheads on random at 100%.

Medium as in the polyps are lightly swaying or medium as in the polyps are thrashing around

 

[X-37B]

Always start low and work up.
I run random flow so they are always moving but not thrashing.

Here is a better pic of my slimer colony for reference.
