aw thats a old pic, the person I got this coral from had just bought it from his LFS and it was a little disturbed and was looken like that in the pic above. Since I have gotten it, the flesh is swelled up as normal and it will eat brine shrimp every now and then when the feeding tentacles are out...I will post a pic tomm but the guy told me it was a mushroom but i didn't think it was. Its doin well there is no teeth or anything like that showing now...
