    can someone help me with a question concerning a dendro like coral..

    anyone know or have pics/links of dendro like corals...im trying to ID this frag i bought, i know its not a sun coral, its similar to a dendro although i have yet to get the feeders out (im about to feed it shortly to see)...

    it has a tubular skeleton...finger like, with orangish/pink polyps...

    its very skinny, like a bic pen...any ideas?

    Got a pic? Also, this should be in the "ID This!" forum.

    In order to get a positive Id, we really need a picture, it could be a type of dendro or it could be a type of anemone.

    If you really want to know the genus, Tubastrea look very similar to Dendrophyllia, almost identical in fact.
