[swervo513]

Where from? Whats the name? value?

Candy cane and a Ricordia it looks like but the pic is fuzzy.

 

[swervo513]

I should have mentioned that I need you to be a little more specific than that. what kind of cane or shroom/ricordia is it?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Is this a quiz o are you looking for Identification help?

First photo might also be a young lobophyllia.

"Value" is not part of the identification process on Manhattan Reefs

well i just wanted to know if i got a good deal for it. the candy cane/ lobo was 5 bucks and the mushroom was 20 bucks. also im not jsut quizing you.. i really want to know. thanks!

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Those are a good deal.

 

[Deanos]

If you paid $5, then I'd agree it's a Caulastrea sp. coral.

 

[swervo513]

Thanx... thats it!! any ID on the shroom? i know its a bad pic ill try and get a better one.

Appears to be a bit stressed.

I'd say just a regular ol' Yuma.

My guess would the the ricordia/mushroom/yuma might specifically be a Rhodactis..does it look like the coral to the right in this pics..just in a different color?

If not, a clearer pic would be most helpful

yes it does. except it has some teal, purple, and clear coloring. and it seems to be splitting today. the original mouth has dissappeared and it seems to smaller ones are forming
