    What type of coral is this???? The lfs told us what it was but I couldn't remember when I got home. All I can remember is that it started with R. Ids would really help as I would like to do some background research. Thanks :)

    yeah it does look unhappy, but hopefully that's only because it's just been put into the tank.....
