This is yet another coral I'm holding for a local who suffered a tank crash. It's three ricordea polyps, all of which have multiple mouths. This one has the most with six! I thought anything more than two was bizarre, so I wanted to share.

Very cool looking piece! Has it been that way long? I had one that had 2 mouths for like 3-4 months - and it is finally splitting. Anyway, very cool pic!!

I've only been holding it for a few weeks, but it's looked like that the whole time. The other visible polyp has two mouths, and a third polyp not pictured has four mouths.

We sold a 10 mouth canary yellow ricordea florida a couple months ago. Most mouths I've ever seen on one polyp. At $100, it sold within hours of being put up on the our site.
