I remember reading somewhere about these being joined by men. I forget what they called the procedure.

Too Cool!

 

[TyreeUM]

could be montastrea?

 

[organism]

looks like a montastrea curta, depending on the polyp size

 

[naturebat]

I've seen people say Favid, Montastrea, Acans and Mussismilia.
Montastrea I lean away from, only because the polyps on Montastrea are less fleshy and almost hard. The coral in question is exceptionally fleshy, feels like a bag a jelly and loves to eat.

 

[organism]

how about favia speciosa or favia lizardensis?

 

[naturebat]

Thanks organism!
Hmmm...Favia lizardensis is the closest I've seen.

 

[Zeppelin]

I second the favia.

 

[Azurel]

I think it is called kick assavia......That is one sweet coral no matter what it is....

 

[naturebat]

It has this behavior of protruding one head up, really cool.
