What do you guys think this is??

I can email a pic that hasn't been resized so you can get more detail.

On This piece you can even see skeleton for better ID.

looks like some sort of Flavia.

For genus I'd guess Favia.
No idea of the species. Common name "moon coral"

That is a very fleshy favia, that sometimes glows with color. It usually has large coralites. A few years ago I had one that was completely turquoise blue, sadly it was killed once infection set in and spread after it was stung by a yuma. These particular corals are not imported that often, I saw one last week for the first time since I picked up the original one. I don't know the scientific name off hand, but when are available they are usually imported from Tonga. Nice find.

mane3215 · #8 10/24/2004, 09:26 PM

Um you know, its a hypochangocalypsobeatamatic

/me points to pic above. Either that or a hugimagigger!

Either way it's REALLY rare and I'm gonna get it.

Once it's in my tank I will frag and share with all that I can.

Because it's so rare the going rate will be 1 polyp for each frag of 10 acan lord polyps.
Oh yeah, only the rare color morphs will be excepted in trade.

Oh NO! you are not going to frag that baby....No one will ever gonna be able to trade with you for that....Please keep it in one piece to preserve it rareness and beauty

mane3215 · #11 10/24/2004, 11:03 PM

Pshhhh, I don't even believe you can get it!

va_reefman · #12 10/24/2004, 11:11 PM

Oh...and watch out for the wolf...he will talk until you frag that baby so stick with your decision...

BIGGUN · #13 10/24/2004, 11:31 PM

I might not be able to.

It's one of those "not for sale" things.

Hey John, You think Chris was just telling me it wasn't an acan so he could find it before I could get it.

Boy now I can't even tell you guys when I get it cause Chris will be breaking into my place to get a piece......or all of it.

I think it's a Zandar.

Oh, hey Chris, I saw an adult toy site that took that coral name (hypochangocalypsobeatamatic) and is using it for a self-gratification device.

Oh well, should have marketed it.
