 |  What is this coral?
I got this as a extra from this guy I bought the xenia from. He told me what was it but I forgot and want to look up more about it. Anyone?
Thanks!
GKW
Is it a kind of Blastomussa?

Looks like Blastomussa Merleti. At first I was going to say candy cane but the tenticals made me go with the Blasto

I don't think it's a Blasto because it looks like it has a stalk.

Hmm, i was thinking blasto too. Jason do you think it could be caulastrea furcata? They are both very similar...hard to tell because it is such a small frag and probably not fully extended. _________ Tank Specs:

My guess is Caulastrea(candy cane). It is too small and the picture isn't very clear on my computer. _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
