Hey Everyone,

I picked up this coral about a month ago at a frag swap and do not know at all what it is. I bought it because of how bright it was, but I can't seem to find any information about it.

It has a dark fuzzy sort of polyp to it that moves with the flow, and has a bright green base. It sort of reminds me of a mushroom, or a plate coral, but I don't think it's either.
 
That is a coral, possibly a hydrophornia (or something like that?) Brain is fuzzy as that picture, ,sorry :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :cool:
 
Sorry about that, this thing is hard for my camera to get a good shot of. I think this is a bit better

Well now I had to go look it up: Thanks Google: hydnophora coral
 
I love how they look but they put out sweepers that can reach across the tank at night.
 
Ah, I even found the name it's a JF Lime Light Hydophora, I believe.
