Unknown Coral

[JtheFishMan]

I purchased this coral from my local fish store a few weeks ago, but forgot to ask the assistant what this specific coral was named. The hand shaped parts go in and come out occasionally, and the smaller ones have somewhat lime green tips.

Does anyone own one of these and / or know the name?

Ok, thank you so much. I’m going to do some research on them.

Had one of these. A concern is to seal with superglue the frag end of the pipes after removal so no nasties can get in.

Ok, but isn’t that only for propagation purposes? This isn’t mandatory, right?

If you remove it from the frag plug to mount the coral directly on your aquascape, seal the ends with superglue.

Ok. I didn’t take mine off of the frat plug, and don’t plan to. The plug is placed in a crevice of live rock, and it looks pretty nice. But, I’ll keep this information in mind for future references. Thank you so much!

BTW, went to the Lazer light shows against the mountain in the early 80s. Do they still do those?

Yes, it’s a seasonal thing. Fall and winter months would be Snow Mountain, and Spring and Summer months would be Lazer Shows. I haven’t been to one in about 3 years, mainly because of the pandemic, but I used to go almost every week when I was younger.
