Help with Corals Scientific name...

[Reefguide]

I was wondering if you folks could check out the Corals section on my web page and help me verify that the Scientific names are correct and fill me in on the ones missing the names.... Thanks !

Here are some of your answers

Frogspawn = Euphyllia divisa
Mushrooms = Actinodiscus sp formerly Discosoma
Toadstool leather = Sarcophyton alcyonidae

You have one picture without a common or scientific name and this looks like a open brain coral.

I forgot to mention.

Torch = Euphyllia glabrescens

Although the torch in the picture looks strange, almost like a buble tip anemone. The torch I have has thinner tentacles. I have attached a picture of the Torch I have for reference, maybe they are just different morphs? In the picture, the Torch is near the bottom, middle.

Great Thanks !!

How about this one, Open Brain?:

Sure looks like an open brain to me. I have seen these in multiple of colors. The one I have was actually a bright mixed green, then it bleached and now that it has returned it is much more of a brownish green.
