Help me name frag.

[hiprick]

I picked up a couple frags, one looked sad so I rescued it.
I got a small plate of zoanthids, a small pagoda, and this one I had no idea what it is.
It's only ramdomly opening up here and there, looked different in the store.
It may not like where its at...all others are doing good.

 

[taricha]

I vote turbinaria.

 

[TimeConsumer]

I say name it Frank.

But really, what were you looking for? Ultra rare limited edition collectors special light urple cup coral?

Haha. Yes we need more of those.

 

[hiprick]

Just trying to figure what it really was.
But if I had to actually name it, I would always name a frag a female name, as I hope it will blossom into something beautiful.

It looks more like a Goniopora to me. Can you post a picture of the Pagoda Cup coral you got just for comparison?

I would be more concerned with the fact you put in your display tank all covered in algae.
Next time before putting it in your tank, using a soft toothbrush, and being extra careful not to get any on the tissue, brush the base with hydrogen peroxide. This will kill the algae.

I was going to suggest Jennifer but TimeConsumer beat me to the joke.

My money is on Pagoda Cup. A pic with polyps out will help.

 

[leviburns89]

Lol, some real good names so far

 

[reefbroao]

How about Boris

 

[hiprick]

Yeah I left the algae as is, I didn't wanna stress it more than necessary. Waiting for them to get used to my set up and scrubbing I will go. I'll try the hydrogen peroxide trick, thanks.

 

[hiprick]

They are starting to pop out more.Goniopora you say.

 

[cloak]

What does that Pagoda coral you bought look like? Can you post a picture of that one?

 

[hiprick]

Here's the so called Pagoda. Correct me if I was mislead.
FYI, her name is Allegra...

Hmm...

Regarding your other pictures, I know a Goniopora has 24 individual tentacles per polyp. I'm not sure if a Pagoda has a certain amount per polyp as well. You might want to see what the count is.

 

[hiprick]

Thanks, I just stumbled on something online leading me on that path.
Soon as I'm done binge watching Parks and Recreation I'm gonna start counting.

+1 Pagoda - polyps are spaced pretty far apart.
