Ok .... these names are getting ridiculous :laugh:

"
There are currently six known species of Studeriotes, all of which share the peculiar behavior of being able to completely contract the trunk and branches into the base, forming what appears to be, for lack of a better word, a sphincter. This behavior and contracted appearance was responsible for its other common name of ‘sphincter coral’, although this moniker has understandably fallen out of favor."
