Coral ID?

[Slocke]

Bought a few interesting corals yesterday but I can’t remember what this one is called. I remember I was told it’s related to Zoas but can’t find anything on any of the common coral stores.

It's a palythoa grandis!

Playthoa. Beat me. Lol

Thanks! Not what I expected from a palythoa. I expected something that looked like a big zoa. Especially with the cup shape and the tiny tentacles.

Its a shame mushroom and toadstool coral names were taken as this one actually looks like a toadstool.

The palythoa grandis variations are definitely different looking than other palythoa. Much larger as well. Be aware they do carry palytoxin and can be harmful if handled or fragged improperly.
