I was at my LFS and they were trying to sell me this thing but it was light blue.

she offered like $15 for it.

i didnt want it since i have no idea wat it was. and i dont want this flan thing dying on me. but it looks cool.

anyone have any idea wats it called?

I think KahluaZzZ had one of those or was it salty! Just check their posts. I think its a Doughnut Coral, Meat coral (Acanthophyllia deshayesiana)!

Do you have a larger pic? That one is too small for ID purposes.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

yup...looks like an open brain coral

 

[CoolWaters]

the one i saw had little transparent tentacles...i dont think its a brain coral...

i got that pic off reefvideos.com its the vid on the far top right corner. if u watch it, you can see a full close up shot of it for like 2 seconds =/

it looks like a scolymia of some sort

idk what it is but if anyone ever TRIES to sell you something, its probably no good
they obviously want to get rid of it

 

[aresgod]

that is not true at all pleeco...so long as it looks healthy and you are able to keep it properly I would recommend the coral, they are great and not too difficult to keep.
