My New Acanthophyllia (Meat Coral)

I picked this little beauty up this past weekend. It is eating and doing very well so far.

Look closely and you can see it taking in food.

Really beautiful!!

It is part of the meat coral family but I believe you have a cynarina...cynarinas are smaller and have that glass "bubble" look. Acanthophyllia get very large and have a "meatier" look to them.

Both beautiful!!

Heres a pic of my acanthophyllias next to my cynarinas...the acanthophyllia is closer and the red cynarina is behind it. There is also a green glass cynarina behind the red cynarina.

They all eat the same way, my acanthophyllia are feeding right now also

This species of coral is quiet amazing!
