The pictures are too small and the coral is too closed up for me to i.d. it.

Default Coral ID

Hi there. This is the first time I'm making this post. I saw this site while looking for a way to have some of the pictures I took while SCUBA diving identified. I have not seen this coral (?) which I attach here somewhere else. Can someone please identify it?

I think the soft coral posted by [u]bottom feeder belongs to the genus Lobophytum. You can browse the internet for similarities. I just hope this could be useful. I noticed the posting was done months ago.

It looks like a irritated Colt to me.. But to really tell it needs to open up first (: But Colt would be my guess from that set of photo's

Agree with Tangster...you will know for sure, once coral opens up. Did you see it fully expanded at LFS?

Give it couple of days, then resend pic.
