Hey guys finally got a good picture of whatever this is! I’ve had it for years and have been growing it. Felt like with Halloween approaching it was a good time to post.

Looks like an echinata. Very pretty and perfect for Halloween!

+1 for echinata. Very aggressive coral, keep a distance between other corals

See that’s the crazy part it’s going on 6 years and has yet to sting anything else. And they eyes get huge.

That's good. Ours would throw mesenterial filaments a few inches out and devour coral.

This guy was too close to my echinata, woke up one morning and saw the one side covered in mesenterial filaments, moved it away and it made a full recovery. Can't say the same for my enchinata, it eventually died a little while after this picture was taken.

Wow that’s crazy!!
