What's it?

Nope you can't eat it!

What is it? hummmmm...

We have a winner already!!!!

It is a salt water Coral.

Euphyllia ancora (Hammer coral)

Phil, I think you're the only one that would want to eat that, even without knowing what it is. I think it was albert einstein who said "If you don't know what it is, don't put it in your mouth" or something like that. hah, who knows?

Oh, and a really groovy photograph. Very good tactile imagery.

Albert does.

It still makes me want to eat it...

Very good tasty imagery.

Good ol' anchor coral. One of the toughest and prettiest hard corals I've ever owned. I ended up selling mine when I cleared out my tank, but it was always one of my favorites.

From a species documentation point of view, this is pretty decent. It doesn't show the structure of the base but the detail in the polyps is nice.

If you're just going for something with a nice texture, you may want to crop out the top left corner where you have a little blackness.

Otherwise, a pretty nice shot, and a really nice specimen. How you are enjoying your tank...
