 Topic: Help ID'ing new coral
Posted: February 16 2015 at 4:21pm |
We bought a couple new corals over the weekend, and the guys at the LFS couldn't remember what this particular one was called. Anyone have any hints or ideas?

Looks like a Hydnophora to me.

Well it's a little hard to call him "coral-killing"—he nips and picks at a lot of stuff, but the frags were pretty new and young when they died (and didn't seem all that healthy when they arrived, frankly), and we've had several others that have survived and thrived, so I am not quite ready to accuse the wrasse too aggressively just yet. But yes, we still have him...

I agree it's Hydnophora, a fairly hardy stony coral. Good choice. I have two colors of Hydno that I share with hobbyists.
