....seriously though

That piece looks like a micro to me, just watch out for color change. Some pinks turn red, true pinks stay pink.

thanks JenDub. Nice to get a response from a real LPS master, your stuff are one of the best out there.

mummra100769: "micro polyps are tiny",

mummra100769 · #16 07/13/2005, 10:25 AM

lord polyps are bigger than micromussa. micromussa polyps are the diameter of a dime where as lords polyps are the size of a quarter or larger. it looks like the pic has been blown up so i would assume that the polyps are tiny.

oddballs · #17 07/13/2005, 04:37 PM

not to but in but the diffrence beetween micros and acans is the skeletal structure.ming at atlantis has blue micros that are as big as acans just because they are small doesent really meen anything!

dieselab · #18 07/13/2005, 05:18 PM

odd- nice to know. can you elaborate on that? thanks.

Micromussa Amukusensis:
Characters: Colonies are cerioid with neat angular corallites up to 8 millimetres diameter. Septa have 1-3 large teeth. Colonies have a thick fleshy mantle usually covered with fine papillae.

Acanthastrea Lordhowensis:
Characters: Colonies are massive and cerioid, with laterally compressed corallites of uneven height. Walls are acute: septa are thick, with large teeth. Columellae are barely developed. Colonies have a thick fleshy mantle which is covered by fine papillae.
