Was wondering if anyone know what this coral might be. I posted on the hitchhiker and critters and know one could id it for me.

Can you please get a pic that is a little more clear? It looks like it could be some sort of pest anemone

Romeoi3 · Sep 26, 2016

Not completly open.

@Lionfish Lair?

Ok soooo, when I bought it i was told it was a mushroom part of the bounce family. I cant find anything similar i posted this picture on hitchhiker and critter and no one could id it they said to post it around to see if some other group might be able to id it.

It may be a Rhodactis going bouncy.It may also be a baby amplexidiscus mushroom.I see what looks like a really hungry mouth.Will it close up like a purse when you feed it?

Amplexidiscus

kireek · Nov 13, 2016

You would think we could ID it then?

I know there have been recent deep water discoveries and with the recent video of Cubas reef system, I'm wondering if maybe it came from one of those areas? I've been itching to see if we get new coral in our hobby with these two things considered?

The funny thing is its probably not new. just hasn't been popular and doesn't have a Fancy Name yet.
Scientific name, that's different.

could be red sea, but i've seen a few more in limited research that make me say its from the Americas. But I am a relative newb and not a scientist.

Nice find! Looks very similar, imo. Probably the lack of color would make it unpopular.
