Can anyone tell me common name?

The aussies I’ve seen have longer arms, but who knows. Maybe they aren’t fully happy yet. Beautiful euphyllia!

 

[Hemmdog]

What are the arms/tentacles on euphyllia actually called? I feel like I should know that.

Tentacles is what everyone says it seems. And on them are tips.

 

[Hemmdog]

Did some major research. This study has everything you’d ever want to know about euphyllia. Very sciencey but worth the read. Also everything we call euphyllia with the exception of torches pretty much, are actually in the Fimbriaphyllia genus.

Resurrecting a subgenus to genus: molecular phylogeny of Euphyllia and Fimbriaphyllia (order Scleractinia; family Euphyllidae; clade V)

The corallum is crucial in building coral reefs and in diagnosing systematic relationships in the order Scleractinia. However, molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed a paraphyly in a majority of traditional families and genera among Scleractinia showing ...

If you ask me about dendronephthya colonies, I'll have an answer, your guess good as mine on the tentacles, and you call yourself a reef keeper. I bet you paid pennies on the dollar for those badges. Or you probably go them free. Probably found them in the trash Heeeee

 

[Hemmdog]

Oh and the arms are called polyps and the tips are called projections apparently.

They come when you least expect them! You’re a good reefer, you will have them too sometime soon I’m sure!

I don't think so, I passEd off some of the sponsors. Heeee

You did a name change, you’re in the clear! Lol

So each arm is a polyp? I had no idea. I thought the polyp was always the mouth and tentacles combined. Like each crown is one polyp. I learn new things everyday.

When I hear tentacles, ,I think anemones and corals that look kinda like anemones. I also learn something new

I guess @Hemmdog can keep them sinking badges, he earn them. He's good for something.

I don’t think he cares about badges anyway. They can take them away and he wouldn’t notice. Humble guy.

According to that study, that’s what they were referring to them as, yea. Did anyone else read it? It was fascinating I thought.

He's alright, I'm still trying to figure out why God put him here on earth. ...go figure
