Looking at different kinds of coral to ID a beach find I'm now thinking about getting an aquarium. A nice really big salt water one that can have a reef . ( but it will have to wait )
And the coral is a large polyp stony coral, maybe a Button coral , I just don't know exactly and can't find detailed information.
I have a vague recollection that James Cook University in Qld does a lot of marine research - might be worthwhile contacting them????? They might be able to put you in touch with people who id corals a lot.
Thanks, I'll try that one on line.
