Coral ID?

[Pufferpunk]

Got this strange-looking coral tonight.

Weird, huh? Looks like big purplish worms with bright blue/green specks in it. Anyone know what it is?

 

[drummereef]

Whoa! That is a strage looking thing.

Found out the ID: Isaurus tuberculatus aka snake polyps.

Yup. You don't see too many snake polyps around for some reason. Those are a deeper color than most I've seen. That is a type of zoa, BTW.

 

[Pufferpunk]

No kidding? I am an avid zoa collector. I was wondering why all the links I found were about zoas.

Finally got a response from my friend, Anthony Calfo:
"A very neat zoantharian calles Isaurus... feeding tentacles come out at night... needs to be target fed (at night) on zooplankton substituties (like mysids). One of my fav polyps. "
