RE auction ID help

alright, i need a little help IDing this guy. it's a hydnophora but i'm unsure of what kind (rigida, grandis, exesa). i've been looking online but i can't be sure. i'm leaning toward rigida. i need to know because i'm placing him and i can't figure out which end it up, or if it's an encrusting one. curses for buying something without researching it enough!

 

Place like in the picture when in doubt. It will most likely be happiest that way. DO place it in a high flow area the heavier the better. It will keep it's sweepers from extending as much. The sweepers have been known to extend over 12" in slower flow.

 

Nice win BTW

 

yeah, i've got a spot that's got about an 8 inch radius picked out, i'll try to watch it and see if it needs it but i doubt it'll need any more space. i got this and a cyphastrea that i think actually looks better than it did in the ebay photos. i will definitely be buying from them again

 

Great frags and excellent service, which cyphastea did you get?

 

this guy. those mouths are like glow in the dark. it's seriously a great piece.

there was another cyphastrea that had a green and pink thing going on but i lost that to one of you stinking snipers.... (curses!). i lost like 6 corals i was bidding on to last second bids. i need to upgrade to a faster internet...
