renman303 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm trying to identify this LPS to the right of the clam because it used to be much larger in my 55 gallon and it's about 1/2 size in the 225. Maybe my lighting is off or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Most people I know would place it as a "meat coral" AKA donut, modern, scolymia. They are almost identical and it can be very difficult to ID without pics of the skeleton. If ever for sale.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Of the different known species of the genius scolymia (australis, cubensis, lacera, vitiensis, and wellsi), I'd say yours is definitely S.vitiensis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSHROOM13 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Maybe THE most commonly misidentified of meat corals. This is Cynarina deshayesiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
