Los coral I'd found at disney

[Top189h]

Can anyone identify this coral? I've never seen anything this big. It was in a tank at disney and I went back to see it several times. None of the employees could I'd it for me. It's at least the size of a dinner plate.

Hi! It’s a meat coral. Also called donut coral and acanthophyllia. Care is similar to a scoly, be careful as they have been known to eat small fish; the sting can be quite powerful!

Thank you very much.

I didn’t know that Disney had fish tanks? How exactly did you buy this? You’ve got my interest!

Yep it’s a meat. How much did you pay Disney for it?

I don’t think he bought it he just saw it in a display tank and just wanted to know what it was. They have some crazy colors!

Very cool corals! Here's a video @Tidal Gardens recently did on these.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn't attempt to buy it, it was just something that was really unique and I was curious about it. It's in a building with the Nemo ride in Epcot. They have 5 or 6 tanks in a room with employees walking around talking about fish with people. They were able to identify the fish they had but none knew about the coral.

We went for our honeymoon, and have been back each year since. 5 years ago they had blue tangs and clowns in about every tank they had and a bunch of dead coral. Unfortunately all of the blue tangs looked terribly sick. Many had scales missing around their eyes and a few looked like they had ich. I actually refused to go back into the building for a couple of years and wouldn't go to a restaurant that had a tank because it really just made me feel terrible. Last year I went into the building again and they had done a 180 with the tanks.
