Ahhh you might be right about that. Good eye.

They are difficult to ID man, thank you. I prefer LPS ID over zoas;Hilarious I thought echinata at first too.

That’s been my second suspicion as colour dnt seem right for a trachy. Any ideas on the second one guys? It’s growing fast. But again the lines on the body dnt seem right for a trachy, it’s definitely not a scolly.

I'm not sure to be honest. Might have to let it grow a bit. It has a scoly look to me but the ridges are throwing me off.

There’s five in der, the smallest on the left is about 5mm and the largest on the right just over an inch.

I agree with this- vitiensis is ridged (unlike the australis) and can have multiple polyps.

I don't think so @sixty_reefer but I've been wrong before;) That would be cool if they are. Time will tell my friend.

That’s interesting I always tough a scolly had a more of a flat base. They seem very similar to this other trachy I got as a hitchhiker a few years back.

Unless am wrong and that’s not a trachy to [emoji23] am always confused as most I see are on a 8 shape.

Lol, looks like a Ricordia mushroom but it’s hard to tell. Trachys are like $800

No mate, pretty sure is a trachy [emoji23] and definitely not 800$ with luck on a good day maybe 80$ as most trachys over here
