I just caught the unknown coral eating a bloodworm and snapped a pic. This is also the most open I’ve caught the colony as a whole open during the day and it’s because of feeding.

I honestly believe it’s a Montastraea cavernosa and the person I got it from was wrong about Australia but that’s my opinion as of now until I find another possible candidate that matches down to the colors like this one does.

Caught a photo last night of the Mystery coral Open. I’m definitely more and more positive it’s the Caribbean species Montesterea Cavernosa!

The coral has grown so very fast and beautifully I believe it’s time to frag it so I can get it positioned better so it can take over a larger surface area so I believe I will have 2 frags available for trade if anyone is into collecting the rarest of the rarest stuff. I collect zoas Mushrooms and gonioporas and I’m hunting for a USM or Dayglo zoa and any nice OG bounce or other rare bounces. If you have anything rare I’ll gladly take a look.

This is an awesome thread. How is the coral doing? Did you end up fragging it?
