What kind of coral is this?

 

[Loki]

The local store has some that look exactly like this. They call them blastos. I have to assume its micro blastos.

Looks like a fleshy soft stalk. Looks more like palys

 

[Loki]

Yep I see that now..... :-/

 

[SmyrnaReefer]

Looks like blastomusa merloti (sp)

 

[Dowtish]

when you conveniently remove the letter 'i' from it then yes. Merlot-based wines usually have medium body with hints of berry, plum, and currant.. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.

Sorry, the old fine dining server days, I still have all this useless knowledge about grapes.:violin:

But yeah Carl, I have a little colony of the merletti's, they are pretty sweet. Fairly hardy, and a decent grower.

After a quick Google check it turns out its a blastomusa merletti. Thanks!

Yea I got them. They're pretty sweet and all but Im still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that someone would be willing to pay that much for coral frags the size of a sugar cube!

They are Blastos, And very common ones at that as Acecool had a huge colony of these that Rhett bought about a year ago. I also had been given a 3 head frag that grew like crazy in my tank which i gave to another reefer in a trade.
