Info On Cushion Coral Wanted..

[lewiss]

Does anyone have any info on a cushion coral. My local lFS have one and I'm interested.. It's a red and green almost mushroom shape and puffy, and apparently at night it puts out tentacles that look like an anemone's. I've looked on google but can't find any info?
Anyone heard of this coral??

keep them low down on the sand bed. they dont like masses of flow and they will like a good meaty feed now and again!

not a red one is it?

 

[lewiss]

Erm red and green, not completely red like you can get them. It looks in good health, think I might have to partake in this bargain! £30 and its about 5inches in diameter. Why do you ask whether it's red??

 

[seffieuk]

Because red are
