SW Coral & Invert ID Game!

[BIGgourami]

your last 'hint' didn't really help, lol

it's not candy cane is it?

 

[kay-bee]

This should give it away,

The different shape it will develop will be lobed.

 

[BIGgourami]

???hammer???
some kind of long tenticle fungia?

 

[kay-bee]

No, not a fungia (hmm...I guess the outer 'texture' of this coral is being mistaken for tentacles). The actual tentacles extend from where the pink and green meet and aren't visible.

I'll go ahead and reveal what it is and pass the baton to BIGourami who has attempted to guess it the most:

lobophyllia! ('lobed brain' coral)

BIGourami, your turn!
