So, this has been bugging me for a while now. A couple months ago I saw this for sale. The name the seller had for it was "Modern Coral (Bubble coral?)". I saw it and was going to get it but the seller wasn't shipping and I was too late anyways.

Aside from that, now I have to know- Is this a RED bubble coral? I've never heard of a RED bubble coral.

If there is such a thing, I now have to add it to my list of wants...

I really wish I could have picked it up. My only thing was, at that angle, is it possible it is a Cynarina?

That was my first thought when i saw the pic. Kinda looked like a red cynarina not fully opened.

the bubble coral have smaller polyps and they have those little thin pointy (polyps) between the bubbles. I have no idea what the term for them is...lol

Could you by any chance see the skeleton? The cynarinas have a skelaton similar to a lobo, while the bubble corals have a much more jagged one
