Any Aussie LPS beside Acans?

Anyone have pics of their Assie LPS beside Aussie Acans and Duncans?

Let me see if I can get a shot of what they called a Fluoro brain (neon greened channeled maze brain)... I've seen some nice Scoly's, though they were way to pricy...

So far at the LFS I've seen Aussie Scoly (very sweet), Lobo (dull organge/brownish with blue centre), Elegance and Blasto Merletti.

Here are some recent lobo's I aquired. The pictures dont do it justice. these rainbows need a lil more time to settle in.

Cool....
One of the LFS owner seems to be saying the same thing...Aussie collectors are charging based cm or inches of the colonies....
Do Indo collectors do the same thing?

Without seeing a pic of the whole thing, it looks like a Platygyra lemnalia (sp?) They're pretty common here.

Hey there, I have 2 90 gal tanks that I am trying to do as "all-Australian" reefs. I have several nice enchinophyllia (maybe Mycedium?) colonies, some Platygria, lots of Duncans, Bright red zoos some Bowerbanki Acans and some Hillae acans.
Check em out.

Enchinophilia / Mycedium





Flouro maze



Duncans




Zoanthids



Another Flouro maze


Hillae acans



Bowerbanki Acans

All those pics were from a month ago when I first got them. Here are some shots I took today.

Bowerbanki acan



Duncan



Red Zoos




Flouro Maze




Enchinophillia /Mycedium





everything is still getting used to the new enviroment. I was worried cause everything was kinda bleaching at first, but now all my corals are regaining their color. Sadly, I am left having to guess what light my corals want.

It's hard getting a non blurred shot of that fluoro brain, huh. I'll get my attempt posted tonight. The green just glows...

Maybe a little more than they are in the pic, but not much.

My LFS got bright pink and green scolys. They were very bright, very cool, and very expensive. We also got in a duncan frag and it is very expensive.

Here is one I have but not totally sure what it is other than it is from Aussie. It looks very similar to some the corals being called crown jewels only a little bigger polyps.
