New Maze Brain and still looking for ID

[Kalied20]

Here is the Brain that I mentioned in the other thread.....pretty nice looking piece.

Still looking for an ID on this one...

Better picutre of my new fish....just liked the looks of it and a lot cheaper than the Blue spotted Jawfish....

I still say Scolymia. Veron states that Scolymia do not have the large mantles that are extended with water like Cynarina (V3 p66-Corals of the World). They can get somewhat plump (more than in your pic), but it may just be a matter of time. How long have you had it and how long had Wayne had it. If it's been shipped recently (last couple of months, even) give some time and tlc and see what it does. Try Scolymia australis, S. vitiensis, and S. cubensis. They are all very similar. I'm thinking S. australis based on the 'general' colors listed in the book. I couldn't find anything else that had a similar base structure (septa, etc.), and an outer ring. There are several with a similar base structure, but no outer fleshy ring.

Thank Gary, I will look into that. I know that it was shipped to Wayne this last weekend and I have only had it since Sunday.

I will look it up, but what is the light requirements on them? I don't want to put in too close or too far...

Thanks again
Robert
