im not sure even what it is thats what it was sold as what would define a crayola table?

Looks like a Chips to me

[myzislow]

that is definitely not a chips acro. It has some great PE, but that doesn't make it a chips. Nice piece what ever it is.

[Creetin]

Heres my desalwii, Its an old pic. its alot bigger now but the colors on it is intense. This is the most hearty acro i have in terms of keeping its color.

Here is what was sold to me as a Crayola table. I have an ORA Chips also and they are similar, but definately different corals.

Here is an older pic of my crayola (also a desalwii). Color today is much deeper, like Creetin's, and also seems to be a very hardy coral. It got so big, for lack of a better reason, it started to implode on itself so I cut it way back and its now doing excellent.

Frags from my coral and other crayola's (ie. plana's) look very similar to yours when little.

Nice piece you have.

That's beautiful piece. I don't know if mine is a real crayola, but if it grows like yours, I definately have it in the wrong place.

i know CAreefer and Kip have some incredible colonies of this acro. unfortunatly i dont have pictures of them.

[murphreef]

thanks everyone for your input so is a crayola table really another desalwii?? i have a wild desalwii i got a while back and it has colored up amazingly well... too me they look a little different in structure

heres is part of my desalwii its gotten some nice blue tips and yellow center

[Creetin]

Yep thats the same as mine, But the polyps are not as extended and mine are green.
Crayola is a generic term vendors use on desalwii's and or plana's. Could be that it is reffered to one and sometimes it is used for both because of mis id's. Dunno but the term crayola i have seen desalwii's and plana's called that. JMO

very nice everyone

tubs had a true crayola at one time

due to the flourescent properties of the inner coral branches, they can be many colors

i have a couple of pics around here somewhere....

here is the coolest of the few i've owned

i re'scaped my tank after TOTM and it shutdown a few weeks later (didnt like its new location i guess)

[Kip]

and here is mini-colony of the tubs crayola in my frag tank that i grew from a frag off the parent in the display

most people kept the inner body kinda lime green and i saw it that way a few times, but for me it was mostly white... and super shaggy
