Appreciate ID - the green one

Ooops - here is the green one

Looks like Scolymia or Cynarina. My guess would be the former.

I actually though it was a cynaria donut coral (often called a meat coral)

I have a green one (but not quite as green as the one pictured)

Scolymia and cynaria appear similar. My understanding is that cynaria are more translucent, and tend to swell a little more. I have what I've decided is a scolymia, and it looks just like the green one above (except it's red). It's obviously possible I ID'd my own critter wrongly, though.

In any case, care for both is about the same. I placed mine on the substrate, and feed a couple times a week.

you hit the nail on the head. Mine is more translucent than their picture so I must have cynaria.

PS---sorry about hijacking the original post. Hopefully, our comparisons are useful to you.
