Nice Ken. That first one looks a little beat up... you should prolly frag that a couple times just in case.

Wow, neat one Randy. That's an odd growth form? Is it just the shape of the frag you think?

Hey Kev,
I put this piece in a bright spot in the tank when I first got it and I think it didn't like it, so it grew down the rock. I now keep it in a shaded area. The blueish part is the size of the frag when I got it. The green skirt is new growth. There was a smaller frag on the same rock, which is why you can see a green ring around that piece in the back. Also, the green part is inflated, and curled up towards the light a little. Also, the white specs are color, not skeleton.
BTW, This frag came from Rochester.

Very interesting growth, Randy. I've now moved an Echinophyllia (growing quickly) down to a lower ledge in my aquarium. We'll see what happens.

You guys know why these corals are 'mushroom killers', don't you? (Has to do with the lower reef zone they naturally occur.)

Good point Gary! Makes perfect sense. Explains the sweepers, too!

Dolly- I agree with photobarry. Your coral looks like a (vermitiid infested) Echinopora.

ShhWeet Jen!
Where do you keep getting these things ? And for 60$?? You must live close to the coast or have a secret supplier
What do you think it's going to color up to or where is it leaning anyway??

hehe...no connections, just relentless searching. I do have an advantage of living close to LA. I am hoping it turns to a brighter purple, it is a big piece so I will frag some to share plus I am running out of room in my tank.
