This came in on a rock of zoas i got today. Im pretty sure its either an acan or a chalice. But im not sure which, its shape is like a chalice but its mouth is kinda like and acan..im not sure,help me out, pay attention to how it grows over the zoas...

zoomed out shot

 

[gumby]

looks like acan but it got that skin growing like chalice... I dont know but if its a chalice I want first dibs on a piece!!lol

 

[Just Clownin Around]

looks like a maxima acan. whatever it is it looks pretty sweet. what type of zoas are those?

 

[KLR]

Exactly what i thought, looks like an acan but appears to grow nothing like one and the skin is exactly like a chalice....

Im going to try to feed it tonight

 

[KLR]

looks like a maxima acan. whatever it is it looks pretty sweet. what type of zoas are those?

Didnt think of maxima but arent thos only native to the sea of oman, i think these zoas are aussie or indo. Idk what type of zoas they are,I bought the whole unamed colony

 

[VelasCorals]

Why can't I find cool stuff like that. Where did you get it?

 

[Dave3112]

Scoly? Not sure but what it looks like to me.

 

[stylaster]

if you look at the skeleton that its' on i would say chalice, since the ribs are lined up in neat rows, acans skeleton is more like a favia type

I usually dont but this was luck,hahahaha, and i got it from a secret palce:crossedlips:

Scoly? Not sure but what it looks like to me.

Could be a super tiny scoly it is about 1/2 by 1/2

if you look at the skeleton that its' on i would say chalice, since the ribs are lined up in neat rows, acans skeleton is more like a favia type

Didnt think about the skeletal structure,i hope your right,i really like chalices!

 

[KLR]

O, thats just what i read a while ago when maximas were just getting popular...

 

[seth&angelle]

I'd lean more toward maxima or scoly.

 

[KLR]

Ok so now im stumped...i guess ill have t owait to see if it grows an eye and how it eats

 

[Henry C]

Man what a nice score!!!! The colors on that thing are sick!!!! Does it have a skeleton?? It looks almost looks like some kind of mushroom to me...

 

[KLR]

Yea it has a skeleton...It would be really cool if it was a mushroom...

 

[Henry C]

Whatever it is, it's sick lookin... The reason I said mushroom is cause in the fist pic the way the mouth is it looks like a mushroom. Does it expand and puff up or does it just expand in diameter?

 

[KLR]

Only in diameter i have not seen it "swell"

 

[skinz78]

I am going to vote Chalice on this one, it doesn't look puffy enough to me to be a Acan or Scoly.

 

[KLR]

This is making me more and more anxious to see what it ends up being! I think seeing if/how it eats a piece of brine tonight will help me know what type of coral it is

 

[Nicks387]

Looks like an Australomussa to me, Nice find bro..
