Re: Identification
Judging from the photo, it doesn't look like a coral at all...it looks like a Heteractis magnifica or similar anemone. If it is anemone and you were looking to buy a coral and not an anemone, you may want to take it back.

Re: Identification
I agree with yvr, it is indeed anemone and not a soft coral of any kind.
Most likely H.magnifica or H.crispa. Hard to tell from the pictures provided.Kind regards,
Gene.

Re: Identification
i think it is indeed an anemone because my clown started fiddling with a couple days into having it in the tank. thanks for the help
just to know which one, what would be some of the differences between the magnifica and the crispa?
some of the tentacles split into different branches sort of like a treeLast edited by mike007; 12-01-2009 at 03:44 PM.
