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?

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

Either way cool coral!

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

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.

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
