Can anyone ID this SPS?

[fritz]

I got this as a "Hydro" but I'm having trouble getting info on it. I've found similar(-ish) looking SPS but I'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's turning brown on the top, but bright green on the sides (which get less direct light)!? It's about 3 inches from 220 Watts of URI VHO.

Thanks,

It's spelled Hydnophora. Do a search and you find plenty on the coral.

Wow these don't play nice.

Hmmmm. If anyone has a Green Slimer frag and a zoo or two perhaps you'd like to trade for this Hydno, it's about baseball sized and mounted to a 3x3 piece of LR.

No they don't. They usually will kill anything that they touch. You need to keep your sps apart, or be careful with placement, from other corals as they could sting each other to death or release chemicals with the same results.

They have very long sweeper tenticles.Keep them far away from any other coral.I learned the hard way and lost two big colonies........
