    Gonipora is not a SPS but anyhow... that almost looks like a hynophora, do you have any more pics? What did they sell it to you as?

    Nice BTW!

    be careful with the hydnophora.....I had placed mine maybe 7 inches from a little acro frag that I had....and got up one day and say the hydnos guts all over the acro and is killing it...I now have the hydno by some anthelia (hoping to control the growth) but the acro is dying from the bottom up now!

    hmm if it is a hydno its a odd color, never seen hydno with that color or growth , only see the green ones with diamond shaped growths.. eh i dont know cause the tentacle things in the close up shot look like hydnos.

    Thank you I will watch out for that, if this is not a hydnophora what do we think it is?
