Green Blob

[joelb]

I know i've asked before but i have a better picture of it now. what the heck is it? its like a hard blob with little tentacles that do not eat big food, they retract very fast, it likes lots of light and good flow, its skeleton is like a lot of little sticks that crack if broken.
it does not table out just hugs and drupes down whatever its on. any ideas? thanks, joel

a baby pagoda cup? It's definitely SPS...well i think it is anyways.

wouldn't a pagoda be LPS though? I don't think it's a pagoda. It's a lovely green blob though!

Pagoda gets placed on a sps and lps variety. I believe "Pagoda" describes the shape and is the first name in latin. It does look like an SPS Pagoda.

even though it doesnt form a cup? it molds itself to the rock like a chalice... and i've had it since felipe's store was open. it has grown about 1/2 inch since. i really don't think it resembles a Pagoda cup at all, the tentacles are much smaller but i am more on the rookie side.

The SPS variety does have small tentacles though I am unsure about the encrusting.
This page has one that looks very similiar though the owner doesn't shed any light as to what variety it is. It's the third picture down.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... Small Polyped Stony Pagoda. I had a variety once before and it looked identical to this. I got it as a hitchhiker and was like the size of a dime and grew like a big blob. of course my perspective may be off and those may be Large Plyps making it an LPS...but I think it's definitely a Pagoda of some sort.

But...just my opinion... I'm no Specialist.
