Plate coral??


Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I have just gotten a piece of very nice plate coral(?) from a very nice and helpful reefer. It looks like a plate with mouth and tentacles... But its growing like a branch type, like a torch or hammer coral skeletal structure... So im not 100% sure, do plates branch?? All the plates i seen before are disc like... U can see from the pic that theres another baby that is branching out. Any thoughts? Thanks guys

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

The front plate is a branching kind or the ones at the back? Curious too, never seen a branching plates.
Its the one right at the centre of the photo with green tentacles we are talking about, the one behind is a duncan one the right and hammer on the left. Ya, i also never seen a plate coral that propagates like an acan. Nonetheless, it was a very beautiful coral...
