I need a coral ID please

gig · 05/07/2007, 10:35 AM

Can anyone tell me what this is? I bought this from my LFS, he told me the name and I conveniently forgot!

It's a purple color, I believe it's a polyp-type coral, it's slowly starting to comeback after clearing up some of my water issues.

They look like Daisy/Clove polyps, Clavularia Sp.

Thanks Tang, you might have nailed it "purple clove polyp"

it was a beautiful piece, until I ruined it...

It's coming back, in the LFS it was fairly large and flowing, can't wait to nurse it back!

Any thoughts on these? good choice for a n00b reefer?
