These are one of the first corals I’ve had that I got from a buyout. Looks exactly like an orange cup coral but It’s weird because I’ve read that they are very hard to take care of an need frequent feeding, which as a new reefer I never did lol.
Is this an Orange cup coral

Nice! Are all those new babies from that one head?
Nope! I had a couple babies glued to the rocks but they kept falling on to the sand bed so I let them be. Now they just seem to be splitting on the sand and look quite nice.
Looking good. I haven’t tried my hands at them yet. Maybe whatever you feed the fish has been making it to them on the sandbed
I would guess its a dendro
Well today I learned that what I've always called a Dendro is also called an 'orange cup coral.' I also learned that it's considered an invasive species in the Caribbean. Who knew? I have one and I really dig it but it does require regular feeding of meaty items like cyclops, brine shrimp or even mysis if the heads are big enough to take it in.
Same. Never heard it called that before.
