Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / June 2006Coral ID requested
Just bought this coral yesterday: http://reef.geddis.org/unknown/ Anybody know what it is? I've never seen it before, and the guy at the LFS couldn't identify it either. Didn't come out too well in the photos, but the fleshy part has a brown undertone, with electric green shimmer on top. Pretty color. Sure grows in an odd shape as well: kind of like an encrusting coral, or even plates a bit like a montipora, but then these stalagmite pillers seem to shoot straight up from the base. Weird. _______________________________________________________________________________ Don Geddis don@geddis.org http://reef.geddis.org/ It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president's birthday, like they do for the queen. Of course, then we would have a lot of people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December 26, just for the long weekends. -- Imitation Deep Thoughts [Age 8] For others with dial-up, just open http://reef.geddis.org/unknown/DSC05440.JPG First. Those pictures take for ever to load. Pectinia acicornis Also known as lettuce coral.
