Acro ID

[eros]

I thought I posted this once already but either it got deleted or never posted.

I got this Acro from a friend. It has crazy polyps, you can hardly see the skeleton of the coral. The polyps are a bright yellow color and the skeleton is a orange color, although it might be a bit browned out. Either way I really like it and am curious what exactly it is. Thanks

Never seen that one looks like chewbacca so you could call it chewbacca acro LOL

+1
It's Likely Hydnophora
On your last thread I posted to blow on it with a turkey baster
so we could see the skeleton. Please do and post a pic.

Ok, I'll get a pic for you guys. I think it's an Acro but I'm not that knowledgable with coral ID.

Here are a couple of pics I took. They are not very good quality. The Coral is far back in the tank and I can't get a decent shot of it.

O.K.
This changes everything!
Definately not Hydnophora.
I thought the polyps were very defined.
Whatever it is I would love to have a piece.
I have no clue????
First time for me.
This coral looks to me to have the potential for deep coloration.
It's a keeper.

Here's a better shot. I moved the coral a bit so it is in better view from the front.
