    The coral could be a cladiella sp.? Maybe a colt. But the coloration is much too pink for a colt. either the picture was altered, taken with a camera that distorts colors, or it is a different kind of soft coral. It also could be some dendropytha sp?. I'm sure I misspelled that.

    Is this your coral? At a store?

    Hi Kraken

    Im gonna say that your first pic is a Red Carnation....maybe Dendronephthy Sp. ? Not 100% though....and as far as the anemone I didnt see much on the pic but could there be a coral close to it that might be stinging the anemone maybe?

    The LFS told me it was a rare type of colt so rare it cost me 60 bucks.I really dont think it is a type of dendronephthya.

    if it's a colt, you definitely need to frag that baby. should be easy, and colt's should grow fast.

    i dont know how good of a lfs yours is but mine.....i'm amazed they know they have coral let alone know what type they have. i personally am willing to bet my bottom dollar that this is Dendonepthya sp. i am looking at Rob Fenners "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" and on page 329 is a picture darn near identical to yours....only difference is the color in the book is a perrywinkle not a red like yours. but in my mind this is the same thing just a different color.

    Talking

    I heard that they are dyeing some of the corals. And they are selling at
    a very high price.

    I've heard of that too but never seen it. Hopefully that's not the case here, but is sure is vibrant.

    Is the rose anemone eating well? I think sometimes their tentacles look like that when they're not getting enough to eat.

    Im almost sure that it is not Dendonepthya,it dosent have the spinacles(sp) that fall off when its new in tank.
