    Hello Everyone, new to site looking forward to everyones different ideas and thoughts. I just picked up a new coral at the lfs and was told it was a type of colt coral. My Father and I were unsure of this since we have never seen colt with these colors. We think it may be a type of finger leather. But ill throw yous some pics and see what you guys think. THANK YOU for your time!

    Was it really slimy when you put it into the tank? Colts tend to secrete a lot more mucus when being transported. From looking at it, I would also say a finger leather.

    Thank you everyone, um no it did not have to much mucus or slime on it when i put it in the tank. I did use a lugol solution dip to rid it of the hitchhikers. And thank you for the link its so hard to tell i have seen like 6 different pics online that all look like this but are all different things. It really means alot that you guys reach out and help me and other people like this, it really helps keep the hobby going strong. so karma points for everyone!!
