Cool after a little reading it is a fungia or what ever .....I can't wait to see what it grows up to be lol.. also the zoa is more yellow and blue to my eye I know the cell phone pics suck
If its a fungia you probably should not have glues it down, I think they like to move, I could be completly wrong as I dont keep them, but I vaugly remember hearing this
hmm well it was encrusting on to some egg crate and when i cut the crate it broke into flakes this is some of the flakes just glued down now they formed into one and keep growing maybe when its larger I can figure some way to remove frag disc. Hopefully I can save this I would be really bummed if I screwed it up.
It doesnt sound like fungia to me, does it have a mouth? The best way I can describe a fungia is an enemone type animal with a hard skeletal bottom, the tenticles pertrude fomr this hard skeletal body and there is a mouth in the middle
jgonzz wins markings on skeleton look like what I saw listed as a cactus coral but yeah it came up with pavona. Now ......how to get this guy to grow upwards.
ive never seen a pavona look like this....and looking through all the pavona species, i dont see one even close.... curious to know why you think it may be a pavona...following along.
Part of the problem was the way it chipped off the frag rack I'm very curious now too. I really want to see what this thing turns into I'm gonna try to find mor pieces of it and make another frag! But yeah I looked at close ups of the skeletal structure and its red with white veins running in it just like some of the pictures I saw.
close but not the same....they grow in same areas but from what i understand, fungia grow is a circular pattern and are able to split themselves where as the polyphyllia grows oblong and is not able to split itself...
