Bubble coral......really nice piece too!

 

[kookerson]

Did you buy it that big? If not, how long did it take to grow?

 

[clamrade]

Can't really tell from the small pic but I would have to agree that it's either a Pearl or a Bubble Coral.

One more vote for Pearl Bubble Coral: Physogyra lichtensteini

the pictures are thumbnails . If you click on them you can clearly see that they are pearl coral.

yea ive had bubbles before but this one looked different. almost like an elegance maybe? during the day its bubbly and at night it opens to show its mouth and the bubbles go away and it lets its tentacles out and seems to love mysis shrimp. i bought it that big its about 8" long and the guy at the lfs had no clue what it was and sold it to me for $60
