So I picked up this beauty this weekend. I was told they thought it was an Orange Chili and it came from Australia. I thought it was a a Nephythgoria but after looking in the books I don't think so. It polyped out but all it did was get longer. The arms if you will did not swell up like a chilli or a nephy. They did double in lengththough but the thickness stayed the same. The polyps are also orange and not at all like a chilis. Lastly it grew bigger in the light and shrank at night. Any ideas? Come on Mike this one will test you!

Anyone? It still looks the same. It polyps out the same color as the body and the arms get bigger but it does not stand up, they just stretch out more. It also expands in the light and shrinks in dark. Anyone have an idea????
 
I thought it was a Nephthyigorgia when I got it but the polyps are not like anything in any books or on-line under that family. The polyps are the same color and don't open up big at all, plus it really likes the light which is not my experience with Nephthyigorgias. Hmmmm, mystery.
