    #1 could be a goiniopora given how long the tentacles expand. Can you get the polyps to retract for another photo?

    Pagoda aka Turbanaria sp. is a possibility, but I am leaning towards goni due to the one polyp in front the is pretty extended.

    Edit:eek:nly viewed the 1st photo, 2nd does look more like a Turbanaria.

    I was thinking gonio too at first but the tentacles didnt look like a gonio, and my turbinaria does extend quite a bit like the one pictured :p
