Ever heard of Plantigyra(sp)?

Saw it at a LFS and wanted to get some info on it. Is it rare? Expensive? Easy to keep? What corals are related to it? TIA

platygyra? it depends on what kind, but most are pretty common, they're also pretty easy to keep, not too expensive, and require moderate lighting and flow

Platygyra is a member of the Faviid family.There are many species and the ones i've kept seem to be quite adaptable to different lighting/current.

Careful. The sweepers from Platygyra can get quite long, almost rivaling galaxia sweepers.
