Help ID Coral (Pix included)


This coral was introduced and fairing well so far. My guess is that this is an Euphyllia (Torch Coral, however, that is why I'm posting for positive identification and info. It has branches like a Frogspawn but it's tentacles are throwing me a curve. Sorry the pix is a lil blury.

Looks like Euphyllia divisa to me. Regular green Frogspawn coral.

Very hard coral and good for beginners. Moderate lighting and moderate water flow are necessary.

HTH,

Carlos

Yep, Frogspawn. The torch Euphyllia spp. have straight tentacles wothout any branching, and come in both thin small tents and long thich tents (that look kinda like the heliofungia tentacles of long tent- plate corals...
