Id help?

9 posts

  1. Anyone know what this is? I found it off of Flores Island in Indonesia.

     

    Thank you in advance for your help. :)

  2. Do you have a pic of the whole structure? That would be a big help.

  3. No, I'm sorry I don't. I only took 3 frames of it, all from the same distance.

  4. It is Alveopora sp.

  5. Very nice abstract image btw :)

  6. It is Alveopora sp.

     

    Hi Will - I was hoping you'd answer Bondo's post. What makes it Alveopora instead of another genus?

    Cheers, Leslie

  7. The big polps on long stalks with 12 tentacles.

     

    Similar would be Goniopora which has the same big polyps on long stalks but it has 24 tentacles.

  8. Thank you William and Leslie for you help with the ID and Cor, thank you for the compliment on the image. There's so much to learn here! Now I have to go Google Gonipora :)

  9. Now I have to go Google Gonipora :)

     

    Just incase there was any confusion, your picture is of Alveopora not Goniopora.
