I have had this coral for about 8 mths. It's on about an 8 in. rock with an oyster and green 'shrooms, this coral has a ton of these 1/8 in poylps and they have a pretty good sting to other corals. It's encrusting I think, but it's hard to tell, the polyps just kind of dissapear on the rock, it's like they just "melt" into the rock, or fade, like they flatten out and are just gone (it's hard to explain)...at other times these polyps are almost 1/2 an inch long...It's beautiful, anyone want to try for a cupie doll?...LOL

Are there any encrusting Galaxia?

Turbinaria with good polyp extension? - galaxea polyps look different - you can usually see the individual calices on the polyps and the tentacles don't have the interconnected mat over the skelton like that. Post a pic with polyps retracted might be able to do better.
