plz id this coral

[paininthewrasse]

I posted before and nobody could give me a 100% certain ID on this coral because my pictures were not that great but I took this pic and hopefully someone can help me out..

I was told it was acan, and it looks like my other acan I have but some of the polyps on it are a little bit oval shaped and my acan colony I have the polyps are very round.

plz help!

Can you get a very close up photo of a few polyps that have no living tissue on them? Only way to get a positive ID...

Acan lord. Oval polyps are normal for some IME. All mine had at least some oval polyps with the occasional odd shapes like figure 8 etc. But then all mine have been, for obvious reasons given where I live, "non-indo" so morphs are bound to be different.

looks alil like mine, its an acan. NICE ONE! LUCKY

wow great I paid only $20 for this colony

Hormigaquatica I dont think that there are any dead polyps.. but I'll take a closer look tomorrow and see about another pic.. Glad to hear some votes for acan though

Something doesn't look right, can you get a shot with the polyps closed?

 

[paininthewrasse]

I'll see what I can do..

All true identification is of course dependant upon skeletal structure.... But that being said

Its a lord

Very nice for $20.00 also
