Help with ID of 2 coral.

Afaylenerich88 · Jun 30, 2020

Got home from LFS was so excited, I forgot what these two are. I know one is in the same family as Duncans.

Any help would be much appricated.

Also any info on care for these two would also be great

Thanks

Hard to tell from pics, trumpet and duncan?

That top one looks weird...

Afaylenerich88 · Jun 30, 2020

How about these pics ?

Cherub · Jun 30, 2020

that first one is pretty weird looking lol, do you have another better angle pic? Second looks like cyphastrea? lol idk they both look alien...

Cherub · Jun 30, 2020

ah your second pics appeared as I was typing I guess. Still unsure

Looks like a receded Duncan and the weird one looks like a mostly dead/bleached something with a cyphastrea growing on the skeleton.

The second pic looks like a goniopora or alveopora... need it to come out a little more. Can you repost pics when the are fully out?

Afaylenerich88 · Jun 30, 2020

LFS SAID PIPE DRAGON WAS THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE STEMS AND THE SECOND SOME FAMILY OF DUNCAN THAT'S AN ENCRUSTER

Afaylenerich88 · Jun 30, 2020

Will post more pics tomorrow when fully out.

I think the first one is snake polyps. Look up that and see if it matches. The second does look alveopora or goniopora like.

Yeah scratch my duncan comment. Structure not right.

Afaylenerich88 · Jun 30, 2020

So the I think I have identified the first coral as
Isaurus tuberculatus (snake polyp)

Here is a pic of second coral. After polyp extention came out when moonlight came on.

Not an aveolopora or goniopora. Rule those out.

Is this yours? If so, looks sweet! I have mine in med/high flow, med par . Do you know if they are agressive at all? I looked on Google they say there not. But I find its best to talk to someone that cares for this animal.
