Purchasing Coral or Salt water tank stuff

[Vegaluciela]

Hello!
I am new to the group and my boyfriend loves his salt water tank. His birthday is coming up and he keeps on talking about how he wants the below picture coral. Does anyone know it’s name? Type and where I can purchase? Or is there any suggestions on what I could buy him for his tank? Sorry I do not mean to sound so ignorant but i would love to get the coral for him so any guidance is greatly appreciated!!!!

Hello - look up Acanthophyllia corals or meat corals. Check out online vendors, local stores or your local forums.

A beautiful idea

But perhaps not a good one. Without knowing anything about his system there is no way to know what he can keep in it. Size, lighting, how full it is now. Some things you choose to keep mean you cant have others. There are many things I say I would love to have but I know I cant because of something else in the tank that would eat them.

Find a nice local fish store and get a gift card.

World Wide Corals is my favorite site. There are many though. Also look at scolymia Very similar
