the LFS received it already glued, it wasn't naturally growing there, actually i unglued it because it was burning the blasto, actually it was a pretty close fight.
Al g blenny, i agree with you 100 %, i think is the same coral and i think is some sort of lobo or maybe an hybrid like some acroporas are, the fact is that is a cool coral and not yet identified.

Calero - How long have you had it? I'm wondering what its grow rate is.

i have it for like a year, it has originally the big polyp, one medium that was almost lost with the blasto fight, it was left just a tiny piece and a small polyp like a dime open, now the damage one is a perfect polyp like 1 1/2 inches, the small one is now like 1 1/2 inches too and the big one is a little bigger but no new polyps so far, it does good in direct light and medium flow and eats like a pig, that's so far.

Yah I found mine does good in direct light. Eats like crazy, has only gotten bigger, but no new polyps. I got mine last summer.

I can just see like, a little acan lord sitting in a frag tank with a lobo sitting next to it.

The Acan is like "Hey baby, how YOU doin?" and the Lobo is like, "I'm so bored, but am I bored enough?"

Then by the time they got shipped out to LFS, their baby was growing on that frag next to the blastos and was probably named something strange like Biff.

I blame the cold medicine for my strange tale - but it could happen!

thats why this coral enjoys being near some acans, it feels protected, hilarious chrisstie !!!

Hey All Delight I was browing through a website someone linked over in another part of the forums totally drooling over some LPS when I saw this

http://phishybusiness.com/livestock/...roducts_id=416 if i had the money i'd buy it - but i remembered you asking about the ID on that weird lps. Do you think it could be a maxima when you look at this pic?

and the green one right above this post looks like a scolymia to me sorta. it also looks like something that I would probably break into a house just to sit and look at if not steal it is so pretty haha

All Delight · #34 03/05/2007, 08:09 PM

yah I saw that too. Thats the same piece I have. Looks like the same at Caleros too.

Thanks for the heads up.

Calero,
Do you have a pic of the skeleton when the coral is deflated?
thanks
