What Is This Crazy Softie!?!?

[Bongo Shrimp]

So I got a frag of this stuff from my LFS. They say it is Briareum but IDK. If not Briareum what is it?


Look- all I know is that this stuff is crazy cool and rare.

Not my pic BTW^

Looks like a crazy clove polyp.....

That's what I thought but everyone said no at my LFS and at another place.

i forget the name but we got it an at my shop and ill check the invoice tomorrow if no one else chimes in with the correct name in the mean time

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Ok. BTW The polyps are really small like a micro xenia.

And it has a GSP looking base? Is the base on that one blue?

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

Yeah, light blueish white.

A buddy of mine took this pic of his all closed up:

Very pretty. It does look like some unusual type of star polyp.

The picture your buddy took looks like Sympodium, it is photosynthetic encrusting soft coral. A bunch of pieces hit stateside a month or two ago.

I agree its an Indonesian coral and collections in the Indo area are cyclic in that what is avail today may not be avail again for 3-6 mnths, Nice

Mr Coral has it for sale

Looking for the LFS's name to avoid the shipping. PM me if you don't want the world to know, and only me ;)

I have some as well. It likes good flow and moderate/high lighting. A lot of people were selling it a few months ago, but not so much now.

My LFS also has a couple large pieces. Might have to get a frag. Is it growing for anyone?

 

[Bongo Shrimp]

It has a moderate-slow growth rate for me.

 

[Reef Goddess]

Mine is growing at a moderate rate, not fast or slow.
