please id, tort or ?...

[organism]

anyone have any idea what this is? looks like a tort to me, but dunno...

That would most likely be a Pectinatus

I have a frag of the same coral...I believe it comes on a small semi circular smooth-ish disk. I was told that it was a tort but I strongly believe that it is from neither of the two commonly known tortuosa strains. Judging from the coralite structure of the A. pectinatus on aims I am not so sure that is it either. I'd definitely be interested if someone has a good guess as to what it could be.

edit...I forgot to add the link to aims search ...

yeah, it definitely doesn't look like pectinatus, the corallites just aren't all upturned, it's been confusing me for a couple of days now... it's like it almost wants to be a tort but then changed its mind at the last minute

 

[organism]

gonna give it a bump...

 

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

whatever it is its 'PIMP'

 

[organism]

thanks man, it sure is. guess I'm gonna call it the "almost tort"

well its nice how much???

I've seen that piece being called a. pectinatus or a. parilis. They have been coming in lately on the round aquacultured plugs.

Tyree has a LE called "Ultimate blue stag" that looks similiar.

it's gone to that big, rtn'd ocean in the sky...

Sorry to hear about that organism...I'd take a pic of mine, but it has since lost the cool green on the inner coralites. It may be a sensitive piece as I saw pretty much only 2 out of 10 pieces where I purchased it that weren't STN'ing.

 

[AlgaeMan]

Really sorry to here it rtn'ed man. That was a nice piece. I have two of them and they seem to be fairly hardy. Neither is as nice as yours was.

pretty sure i've got the same one too its lost a little of the cool green but perhaps it will come back. seems to be recovering nicely after i removed it from its aquacultured plug when i first got it.
