Sherita Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Is this what it has always looked like? Because, to me, it looks like a zoa colony with a fungal infection. Hard to tell tho, with the pic being so blue. What WAS there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 It has always been that color. The polyps are bright blue. I bought it as a package along with other corals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherita Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well then, we have ourselves a mystery. Does it have a skeleton? These polyps, do they look like zoas, acans, blastos, or possibly clove polyps? I'm suspecting it might be sympodium. Which is a low growing softy with individual bright blue polyps with green centers.. My other guess would be blue snowflake polyps, but I don't think so, the form isn't right. So far we know: animal smaller than a breadbox blue marine coral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Odd color. Not a sponge. I would say it's not a paly or zoa colony. I suppose it could be an sps, but there aren't too many that I've seen with blue skeletons like that. If the polyps were red, then I might say Meteor Shower and attribute the color to the iPhone camera. The polyp shapes are not consistent with Montipora. My best guess is some sort of Mycedium?

Planeden Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 lol...zoa with athlete's polyp. i know, that was apparently ruled out, but still...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 No skeletons, I'll take a closer look when I get home and see if I can get better pics. They're not meteor shower. It's light blue and polyps are bright blue. I'll mess with the coral later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginerd Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 The zoa with orange skirt are gatorades? What's the other zoa with yellow center and green skirt? Please confirm the gatorades and identify the other zoa, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The yellow center green skirt I have seen called both yellow face zoas and green bay packers. Not sure about the orange skirt ones. I also agree that the first pic in the thread is blue sympodium with polyps retracted. - Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
