This is the same coral that you had mentioned was a Anthelia sp in my gallery
Jason. Just at a different angle. I just wanted to make sure what it was. Thanks.

Wow....that just shows how much having multiple pictures for an ID matters. I would have said Waving Hand Anthelia as well.

If its one thing i know, its pipe organs. I have a 220 full of only the rarest typed of pipe organs. This looks like a rare form of cyno bacteria,or maybe acropora. I cannot be certain but it for sure is not a pipe organ.

That sucker took a dive down the back of the reef and layed upside down and killed off all those polyps on the tall tubes. I dug him from the back and put him on the sand and all those new polyps have started comming out all over.

I dont know what im doing right these last 3 or 4 weeks but everything has decided to grow up ,out , and every which way. Ive never seen it like this. Mushrooms are churning out more, Zoas are crawling across the rocks. All the LPS are splitting and talk about polyp extention. Mabey its the upgrade to my skimmer. Or I have started dosing thet Molydemdum and paying close watch to the temp. I still feed the bajusus out of this tank. huh. I do spend a lot of time with this tank. I was think it was time for me to change the URI bulbs too....its been 6 months.
