Hi all, Heard lots of good feedback re this forum so decided to give it a go.

Here in the UK, I have a marine setup with a 90 gallon display tank and 35 gallon sump. (See attached PDF)

I have recently renewed the display tank (after a leak !!) and have re-done the rock structure to provide more swimming room for my fish.
( 8 x Green Chromis, 2 x Clowns, 1 x Yellow Tang, 1 x Regal Tang, 1 x Midas Blenny, 1 x Royal Gramma, 1 x Red Scooter Blenny, 1 x Orange Spot Goby)

Some initial corals in place and starting to add more corals.

One coral has grown very quickly and I have fragged it, so now have 4 good strong frags which I am going to swap/sell.

Problem is I cannot remember what this coral was called. I think it's a 'Sinularia flexibilis'.

Anybody able to ID this coral, please?

Welcome to R2R! Looks like a kenya tree coral :)

I have just looked up the Kenya Tree Coral, similar but it seems to have a central 'trunk'. My coral has more of a 'plate' from which the fingers spread out from. As it gets bigger the 'plate' is more obvious.
Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
 
Hi Dragon52,
Tree Coral Paralemnalia sp. - Possibly, but I cannot find a picture that has a 'plate' area like mine.

This is the parent of the frag above, showing more of the 'plate'.

I agree, This looks more Leather type as stated above.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding
