I have had this for about 1 year now but I am not sure exactly what it is. I think it is some type of leather but not sure. It hasnt grown hardly at all since I got it. It was given to me by a friend. TIA

Is it yellow in life like it looks in the pic?

Because I want to say Sinularia dura, the cabbage leather, but all the ones I have ever seen were bubble gum pink.

 

[jbpig]

its pink/yellow

IMO, it's very hard to tell at this stage in its growth. I'd say it's a Sinularia sp., but that's about as far as I'll go

 

[jbpig]

See that is the problem, it hasnt grown!

that is a cabbage coral

 

[Anonymous]

my guess is that all of those zoos may be 'corraling' it. :wink:

Yup, it's a cabbage alright.

 

[Anonymous]

other than the fact that it isn't spreading as fast as you may like, :wink: , it looks very healthy-the 'stalk is nice and smooth, and the polyp extension is excellent

Yes, it is a cabbage. It is one of the fastest growing softies I ever had, so watch out!
