ID anyone?

[All Delight]

I got this about a year ago. Didn't know what it was, but I like the purple color and it was different. All the time I've had it there was never a green rim, now over the last couple of weeks a green rim has appeared. Anyone know what it is? I figure some kind of LPS.

You don't think it might be a porites? Really pretty, the green rim is nice.

I saw soemthing like this this morning in my copy of Borneman's Corals, it might be a type of Leptoseris, one picture of them has those spider like formations, but the one in the picture it reminds me of has more of ridges then bumps on the rest of it. Maybe search that?

i dont know what it is but i have 2 of these , maybee 3 ...I'll try and get a few pics and post em......1 of them is completely differnt then anything ive ever seen .......in a good way .....

[humanremainz]

my picture taking skill's suck................i have a olympus sp-55 OUZ anyone have any advice or maybee tell me what some of my setting should be ? It sucks to be able to look at some really cool s%#t and not be able to share/show it off.......

It looks very much like something from the Agariciidae family. I would lean towards a Pavona species more than a Leptoseris- but Im really not sure. There are certainly similarities to both, but some odd differences from either as well. Helpful, huh? lol

[chrisstie]

I agree that its an LPS.

I'd need to look in the 3 volume Corals book as I'm sure I saw it in there while trying to ID this very strange echniophyllia..

Can't recall off the top of my head exactly what it was though

[All Delight]

Thanks everyone.

Human - Would've been nice to see what you have.

Psammocora possibly??

[ViPeR_930]

I vote psammocora. Every one I've seen also has the green growing rim as yours does.
