What Is It?!

[patsheridan]

Guy at the LFS said it is "Sort of like a Brain Coral". I should have pushed him to be specific, but didn't. I really love this guy, but want to know exactly what I am dealing with.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like an acanthophyllia to me.

Strange piece. It has the vertical markings of a Cynaria but also looks like a meat coral.

It is a cynacantho lol

I'm going to agree with the others, it looks a lot like a acanthophyllia (meat coral)

may need to see the skeleton part for better identification. However, these guys are temperamental, so don't just go picking it up and flipping it around.

Thanks all.

I'm going with acanthophyllia (meat coral). I am not inclined to touch him - he looks quite happy right where he is. Here is pic after 24 hours. Looks great!

More likely an indophyllia; of course the skeleton would tell.
