Can someone help ID this? I think it's LPS..

[MikeD]

When I bought an RBTA from a fellow reefer, it had attached itself to this rock with these corals on it. I was wondering if anyone could give me any type of ID on this type of lps and general info.

Thanks!

Nice score. Did he/she know that the RBTA was attatched to the Acan. Lordhowensis?

 

[MikeD]

Yeah. He actually put the rbta in the sandbed the night before pickup and the next day, it walked on over to the rock work and attached itself to the back of this piece. He just said there was some type of 'coral polyps' of some type. Looking at it in the bag, I had no idea since it was matching the color of the rock and totally receded (I didn't even think it was really alive even). But when I put it in my tank it got a lot more pink in color. I'll try to snatch more pics...

Hah wow what a nice find. Some people in this hobby pay a lot to score a colony so big- you made out very well!
