[andrewkw]

californica? fatsula?, other?

I'll take another picture or 50 when it opens up. Polyps are between dime and nickle sized closed maybe slightly bigger.

sure it isnt a suncoral? Any pics of it from a far?

 

[andrewkw]

1000% sure its not sun coral.

more pics as soon as it opens.

 

[andrewkw]

sorry this pic is blurry and not white balance adjusted but it shows the polyp size

i even used an american quarter since you might not know the canadian is an identical size

What makes you positive it isn't a sun coral? It sure looks like one to me.

Very little Dave. I did get one polyp to eat a piece of shrimp but it never opened up at least not much.

It was sold to me as a dendro by a very reputable store. I could have bought 8 sun coral colonies for the same price at the same store.

I usually try and squirt a little cyclopeeze or Rods food at mine to get it ready to eat (and give it 5 or 10 minutes to open up. ) It then extends and is ready to feed.

It def looks like a Dendro but I'm not sure what type, great looking colony tho.

 

[gsoaxionsk8]

definitly not sun coral, although im not sure exactly why type of dendro. sun coral tends to be the same color throughout, whereas dendro has a darker shade on the polyps like this one.

1000% not a sun coral. Its a dendro !!

Good score and Good luck. They tend to be shy at 1st when you introduce them to your tank. GIve them a day or so to get used to your tank.
