 |  3reef.com is the place to ask for an id
Was doing a search on aptasia, cuz i have something that kinda resembles one in my tank but it is in the back of the rockwork wo it is hard to tell for sure. If you get lucky on the net you figure you can find serveral pics of what your trying to id from several angles and So...... rather then ask another id question i searched the web. http://www.thewolfweb.com/photo_phot...177509&filter=

I'm jumping on the goniopora bandwagon too. Either that or an alveopora | |

Alveopora has 12 tentacles on each polyp while Goniopora has 24.
Definately a Goniopora species. | |
