Looks like this to me

I may be wrong but I had a frag of it a while back and it looked just the same. Dustin let me know if you want to sell the favia. I just made a big coral order from www.mrcoral.com (http://www.mrcoral.com), but I may still have room for this one. I would almost garintee its not a galixia coral.

nope, i dont think it is turbinaria, especially if it is getting longer tentacles. be careful with the galaxia, it will sting anything it can reach and it has a pretty long reach.

I have a friend that has a turbinia in his tank and it has a soft layer (green part in the pic) on it. The coral I have does not! It is hard like bone! Fishn if you want the favia its yours! I dont know what to ask for it, its the size of my my fist. I need frags for the 90 gallon and equipment for my new 50 gallon if you would like to trade something! Shoot me a PM!
