Does this fungia plate look healthy?

[JDK]

I want to buy this plate coral but it just does not look right. Am I wrong? I was under the impression it should be circular this one looks like it has flesh missing around the rim?

I think the flesh may be moved by current...looks awesome to me!

looks ok to me. to be safe you could email the seller/store and ask for more detailed shots.

They don't always grow perfectly circular. The shape can be altered by it's surroundings and what it is growing it. Looks like a perfectly healthy specimen to me.

Different species have different shapes as well.

my experiance is with plate corals is that they expand their tissue by sucking /absorbing water and therefor larger than the actual disk. when they do this as i think this is the case here they will take on differenty shapes depending on current and tank mates.

my bet is his disk is most likley round. and the indented sides are actualy its tissue.

and looks like a very healthy worth purchasing

Looks awesome. I'd jump on that one!!!

It looks like a Cycloseris tenuis based on the septa patterns and shape, and that species isn't always exactly circular...and are commonly yellow. Could also be from fragging, if it was.
