I can't seem to be able to find this coral anywhere...

 

[KLR]

It looks like a very stressed out, cynarina coral: indonesian scolymia - Google Search

Good luck with helping it recover!

 

[slugwall]

I bought it cause it was stressed the lady thought it was dead or dying cause it got to hot in her tank and was told good luck... I have had it for 2 weeks and most of the time it has a lot more loft and looks more happier than the pic

 

[slugwall]

It has a cone shaped bottom and it's curved like an elf's shoe :)

Anyone have any tips on care? Calcium is up, Nitrates are under 10... I am working on that one... anything else? thanks

Update on Coral!!! Doing sooo much better!

 

[spscrazy]

wow! you sure turned that one around good save :clap2:

 

[slugwall]

Thanks, the origin of this coral is that the heat was left on and the tank reached 85 or more degrees and the coral got bleached.
I bought it cause of the deal and thought after time in a deeper tank that it would heal. I am glad that it worked out, it's nice to see it grow.

Wow what a big difference, great save and happy to hear it is doing well in your tank :D

 

[Loki]

Wow! Very nice. I believe this is the save of the month :). I think that should be a new competition!!!

Oh wow, congrats on the coral save. Be proud, not many can bring corals back to life like you did here.

 

[Loki]

Did you ever find out what this is? I can't tell...

 

[skinz78]

Looks like a Acanthophyllia deshayesiana to me.

 

[secretreefer]

Nice Save on the Acanthophyllia!

Thank you to all!!! I babied this little coral that is now 4" across and plumps right up! Loves the mysis shrimp mixed with crushed fish flakes and mixed to a watery paste. Then syringe the mouth with it. I never thought it would look this good. I moved it to a bigger deeper thank and kept the temp right below 75. I believe the purple up also helps as it perks right up after a dosing of it.

nice recovery

 

[ritter6788]

Congrats! Those don't always recover once they start downhill.
