Watermelon Alien Eye (RF)

[enitnelaVeyaF]

Hi guys, I was checkin out reeffarmers.com LE corals and saw one of the new editions, the "Watermelon Alien Eye".

To me, it looks like a pimpin' Mycedium sp., but they have it labeled Echinophyllia. How am I missing the ways to differentiate the two species?

It's sweet, whatever the species!

WOW!

Very Nice!

I just looked at my pink Echino frag and it definitely looks like one to me, I wish I had not looked at the pic I want 1 bad, but my pink/purple cost me enough

[bugsy714]

It's not a mycedium, they have raised eyes. I can't believe Steve is going to LE that piece out, the OG owner is going to be flaming mad, Hugo screwed him over real nice....

[Jus Reefin]

That is a freaking sweet piece. I think that by 2009 there will be a few frags floating around. I can't believe someone would wait that long LOL

[davejnz]

I'd like to see an unedited pic of that coral under lower K bulbs,colors look a litttle edited to me.

[bugsy714]

it's on ebay people!!!!!

Do a search for "Echinophyllia HOT PINK"

This is offered by the OG owner, that's a sick piece!!!!!

Bugsy, You post often enough in the LPS threads to have seen several auction links removed because it is against RC policy and here you go go posting an eBay link yourself. Please refrain from posting links to auctions bro, let's keep the threads about the coral and not the value of the coral or how much so and so is charging etc.

BTW, that is one of the sickest corals I have ever seen a picture of. Pretty crazy echino and I sure do hope that it spreads in the hobby so that there are a few pieces floating around in a couple years.

Wow! That looks like an LE to me! Nice piece! I definitely want a frag of it.. but waiting until 2009 is a no go for me

[invincible569]

I forgot to ask.. what lighting/flow does it require for the best color/growth?

Hey Bugsy thanks for posting that link, like you wanted, I went to look at the pics, not the price.

And isn't people talking about if its LE automatically pointing out the "value" of the coral?

Funny how wording sometimes doesn't work right.

Great coral, and thanks for pointing it out.

Looks fantastic.

seareef, That is truely a sweet piece. One of Tyree's better LE picks IMO. Beats the heck out of all them sticks ( SPS) HAHAHAHA

[coralite]

Here are links to images of this fantastic coral

Dude, who are you? seriously....I don't want or need your suggestions about what I should/can do. If the mods dislike my post they have the power to edit it, and more power to them. You on the other hand are really starting to bug me....seriously

[saltylake]

does anyone have a frag of this coral available?
thanks please PM me

[bugsy714]

That coral is owned by like 2 people right now-Steve Tyree and Seareef

[saltylake]

wow, two people.....
well i guess that ebay auction is going to go through the roof!!!

[StrongHandsMcGee]

That is one sweet coral!!!

I know a few more people who have it, I am working on a trade for it and I have a rez for next year

[JenDub]

congrats on that downset

I love that color combo...pink and green

[coralite]

I am pretty sure there are more people around who have this coral, surely not as much as a regular pink echino though. In time I assume that just like those folks who thought their acan lords were caulastreas and the like, more people will report having this coral now that it is more recognizable.
