    I believe this is a bubble coral but it doesnt really look like anything i have seen a picture of. I've had it for several months now and has almost doubled in size(it's still only like 2in across tho) so I dont think it's dying. Any ideas? It's like a pink and green color under my halide. I cant take pictures under it very well with my camera phone as they all come out way to blue.

    Kind of looks like it, but not 100% sure. Does it have little tenticles?

    Yeah at night the bubbles suck in and tenticles stick out. All the bubble corals I have seen have bubbles like 3 or 4 times the size of mine. The bubbles on mine are only like 1/4in in diameter.

    it does look like a bubble mal. give it time and it will more than likely explode in size. they can grow quickly.

    Yes sir thats what it looks like. I thought it might be a pearl bubble but the one pic I found of one it looked a lil dif but thats pretty much exactly what mine looks like, except yours is much bigger. How often do you feed yours and what do you feed it?
