Hi experts, is this a fire coral? This is a SPS right?

If so why it does not sting when i hold it to put it in my tank?

Looks like a sponge to me... not sps... :peace:

1ft cube with IOS [the low tech tank]

1. JBJ C-breeze to keep temp hovering around 27-28'C

2. LED clip on - 120 bulbs

-skimmer-less-

My 3 humble equipments that keeps my tank running... [DRIED OUT]

1. The RSM itself of course 2.My NEW Deltec MCE-300 Skimmer 3. My trusty Arctica Chiller

Tank parameters:

Temperature maintained at 25.3'C to 24.7'C

No3: 10ppm(b4 the use of the deltec skimmer)

No3: 5ppm (after use of the skimmer)

Others? too lazy to measure...LOL

It is a fire coral alright....had one of them b4. They are categorised under LPS although they look more like SPS.

Feeds on rotifer and phytoplankton in the night.

It does not sting yr hands because it is still small. But in the natural environment they can grow as abundunt as acropora and sometimes divers get cut by rubbing against them, just like acropora.

From my research after fuel's pointer, think this is distichopora lace coral or distichopora sp.

The picture in the below link also have the same colour and looked like mine.

it is technically a Hydrocoral, and is more closely resembles "Fire coral" (Milepora) sp. These rare corals have a highly branching form and are non photosynthetic. They should be kept in dimply lit spots or in caves in the aquarium and provided with medium to strong water flow and offered supplemental feeding.
