Coral I.D., please....

[jrnannery]

First, I apologize for the rather poor pictures. We do what we can.

Ok, the subject, as you can see in the pictures, is about the size of a small button, perhaps 3/8" across, has about 7 polyps that are almost always retracted into the "body" of the piece, and when the polyps are extended, the only come out a few mm's.

I think it is a Zoa, but I have no way of verifying that, short of an ill-advised taste test.

It was given to me for free, so no arguments here. I do not want to kill it, however, so any help with care and feeding, along with the ID would be most welcome.

Thanks, all.

Looks almost identical to a small Goniopora that isnt opening up to me.
