ID help please
I tried this a few weeks back and didn't get alot of input so I'm hoping now that this thing is a bit larger there may be more ideas from you guys...I've looked through Veron's books and either I keep missing it or it isn't there.
Thx in advance for ther assistance! Doc [IMG]  [/IMG]

Doc that's nice orange but not sure on ID...
It does not look like Acan Lord or Micromussa since polyps are kinda connected... (Polyps are connected right? - that's what I see from pics....) I looks like Acan echinata but not 100% sure... they do not look like favia or faviites.... Is that what you think it is also? |

Its funny how everyone rushes out and spits out acan. Thats not an acan. I have the same thing, as does another user on this board whom got it as a hitchiker on love rock. I have been told its some type of favia, though I am not sold on it. I have never seen one for sale anywhere and only a hand full of hobbyists have it.

I have two different color morphs of this piece and I don't think it is an acan at all. I think it is in the favia family but not 100% sure. Here is the two, whatever they are, they are some of my favs.=)

A guy up here in MN had the same thing grow out of his LR, it kinda looks like an acan rotundoflora.

My guess is Favia but would not surprise me if it were a Acan Subechinata. Jens look more like Favia to me! |
