    hello fellow reefers

    recently i posted a white bleached coral i obtained from a bit of live rock, thought it was dead but then noticed it moving about. i have now nursed it back and colour is returning to the little beauty.

    anyone have an idea what its going to be. i have also noticed another one growing next to it ;D

    thanks peoples

    It's a palythoa. It's from the same family as zoanthids but are usually brown or green.

    nicely nicely. Are they a hardy coral because if not my waters must be good for it to recover this fast

    they are as hard as Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham ( I think your from UK?)

    seriously, these species are great for new tanks and a highly recomended begginers coral
