help with an ID on these corals

Frostiii · Aug 29, 2020

Hello, can anyone please I'd? I ordered a coral and they sent me the wrong ones. Not complaining or anything. But I got some zoa not sure of the name and then some others lol
I emailed them back and am waiting on a response from them.

I order a 2 Nepthia Tree corals.
The 2 Duncans broke off the plugs as well as the green 1 in the back.

But any help on IDs would be amazing

Thank you!

The two in front are duncans or whisker corals. The one I back appears to be a montipora digitata. I'm afraid I do not know the trade names for their particular colors.

i don't think those zoas are collector pieces. need more close up pics.

The zoas in back look like mean greens. The front ones look like gorilla nipples or maybe reverse gorilla nipples.

I agree on the duncan front right, can you get a better pic of the one to the left under white lights, it could be a snake polyp?

I hope it is! I think it's just a closed up Duncan from the color but I'd love to see more pictures of snake polyps given how infrequently I see them.

I hadn't seen any for about 5 years and someone shut a tank down and the stock went to my lfs, I knew what they were straight away, got a little group of about 8 for £10, my urchin has walked off with a couple but I am classing them as just missing somewhere.
Mine are still nocturnal so no proper pics lol.

I hope you post a new thread when you do get some photos!
