[bubble_gum]

i do not have a recent pic of it but it just swell up slightly till u cant see the bone. it has sweepers like a moon coral. looks to be encrusting though.

[bubble_gum]

heres a recent pic.... doubt melting blastos recover and look like this

anyone got any idea???

[flubberina13]

Maybe acanthastrea lordhowensis?

Is it polyp by polyp?

Take a macro shot of the mouth then it is easier to see more clearly...and also a shot at night.

[blueheaven]

Wow if its an acan lord then you got yourself a gem bro

But from what I observed, acans do not have a stony skeleton do they?

then it's not acans lord. Now you try acanthastrea echinata or maybe it's a cousin of the moon coral.

think so but i just dun know which one

[RAV-65]

Look very much like acans, acans have small little short tentacles...

[YzF]

I think it look like Acan Maxima. But not too sure.

Characters: Colonies are cerioid with corallites up to 50 millimetres diameter. Septa are coarsely toothed. Polyps have a fleshy mantle up to 100 millimetres diameter and with a Lobophyllia–like texture. Colour: Green, grey or brown.

Similar species: Symphyllia wilsoni. The fleshy mantles are more extensive than those of any other Acanthastrea. Acanthastrea ishigakiensis has slightly smaller polyps. Habitat: Known only from moderately deep, turbid water.

the meat is not that rough like that and it doesnt have a lobed part... not so lobophillya like texture

its spreading on the whole rock its attached to now

[DeepBlue]

should glue it on a bigger rock and let it grow..
