Hi! That is a green lobophytum. I also have one in my tank and it is very hardy. From my own experience I have notes that it doesn’t extend its polyps that much than other types of lobophytum. It takes a lot longer to shed aswell. Been in my tank for 4 months now, so it could just still be adapting.

So far that's my experience. I just dont see them on the market. I dont get to many Lfs . The really good ones are in Chicago or stlouis.Hi! That is a green lobophytum.

Have not seen one in a LFS either. I live in Belgium in Europe so I thought it might have been location related. I have quite some sps in my tank but people who are not in the hobby are mostly blown away by the green lobo.

That's because it's a very unique looking leather. Pink and tan is what I usually find in the US. A green one really stands out.
I have one too and it does not like to extend polyps as much as some do.

Mine are always extended. They like moderate t higher flow, moderate lighting heavy in Blue, iodine in the water as well as strontium and it probably helps that my clowns use them like carpet anemones.

Those are different. Mine is a green with green polyps.Mine are always extended. They like moderate t higher flow, moderate lighting heavy in Blue, iodine in the water as well as strontium and it probably helps that my clowns use them like carpet anemones.
Yours is amazing. I love the contrast.

So I have a really nice devils hand that came in a ‘surprise’ set of corals. It seems to be doing well. However it sheds its skin more often than I would expect.
It looks good with great polyp extension for about 2-3 days. Then it pulls them in for several days then sheds its skin ( my lawnmower blennie loves to help). A few days later it starts again.
so essentially the cycle happens every 7-8 days. Is this normal?
