Zoa/button polyp ID please.....

[RiffRaff]

I'm looking to possibly remove this rock since these polyps are taking over. I'd like to maybe replace it with a different flat rock and throw some other corals up there. So I figured I should maybe figure out what they are first

 

[StephNewman]

I'm not sure what they are but I will give you a flat rock for it.

 

[RiffRaff]

Oops. Forgot I posted this. I'd be down for a trade. Assuming your rock passes the aesthetic inspection (j/k) (kind of). I'm try to be prepared for the frag swap this year

 

[StephNewman]

Let me know what size rock your looking for and I can send you some pics of the rocks I might have close to what you want and you can let me know.

 

[RiffRaff]

That one I probably about 12" long and about 5" wide. Something similar to that would be perfect

 

[StephNewman]

Okay, Well take some pictures of possibly similar size rocks tomorrow.

 

[StephNewman]

Here are some pics of rocks I have that are pretty flat. Let me now if any of them are what your looking for.

Let me know if you like any of these as a trade for your zoa rock

 

[StephNewman]

Rock 1 is in my sump so don't have much coraline. The others are in main tank. Rock 2 and 4 are covered in coraline. Rock 3 has the beginnings of coraline on it. I have only had it about a year and it didn't have any on it when I got it. It also has yellow sponge on it.
My guess is Rock #4 is closest to what your is. It is one of my favorite rocks to use as a bridge.

 

[RiffRaff]

Rock 4 looks good to me. You didn't have to go as far as taking a ruler to it though. Now I feel bad that you went through all that.

 

[RiffRaff]

Oh. But you should know that I have majano anemones. Forgot aBout them

 

[StephNewman]

That is okay. It didn't take long. The majano's are okay. I will try to get rid of them if they are on the rock but if I can't it is not a big deal.
