Coral Identification Assistance

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

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

Yep, I think that's it, appreciate the help!

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.

Whew glad I put it away from everything else. All I remembered was the guy said it was hyper-aggressive.
