The 'credible' leg is that there is an entire forum that was created for LPS...which these corals are.

And now that I've actually looked at what I've posted, I see that, of course, it is NOT an Enchinophyllia. I sent the wrong file. So before this thread gets any weirder, I'll send this, which I'm pretty sure IS an Echinophyllia. Sorry for the mix-up.

Guys: cut out the petty bickering!

Drop it.

I'm moving this to the LPS forum.

Those are some of the works that I cited as a reference, hence my current state of affairs,but thank you for trying SCARYBO. Wetwebmedia was the closest thing I could find grouping some of there article of it under LPS as similar topics, but as I tried to rule out SPS, I found the same article in that grouping in the SPS as similar topics as well. I would love to find a difinitive answer by any professional to classify it as either or,but have yet to find any For the sake of argument though, Ive omitted any reference to Echinophyllia being either LPS or SPS. Trust me no love lost either way, as Im not biased to one over the other.

And again sorry to all for the weirdness, your not alone(this thread is weirding me out as well). I had only but good intentions posting this thread for my research as well as an opportunity for someone to get their prized coral published on paper.

Looks like you shrunk you and your camera down and jumped in the tank for some pictures! Awsome closeups organism. Although, Im running out of time. Ive sent pm's to those that I wish use, due to my time constraints I can only wait for there reply till this evening and if none have responded Ill need to pic some more. Which wont be hard as I said before theres not a bad pic in this thread! All look like professional photography to me, each and everyone!

My bad, I thought he asked for echinopora as well. I see that he asked for echinoporoides.

Hey SPStoner

By any chance, did you pick this one up on eBay not to long ago. It looks just like one I was bidding on and lost

Echinophyllia corals are members of the Pectinidae Family, all of which are LPS corals. All the members of this Family can produce large sweeper tentacles.

A top down shot of 4 different Echinophyllia sp.


Closeup of red Echinophyllia


Green Echinophyllia sp.


I would guess these are all Echinophyllia aspera, but I think breaking it down that far would be a stretch.


I've taken probably 1000 or more photos of these corals in the 5 years I've been keeping them. If I had more time I'm sure I could produce a number of nice pictures, growth sequences, and fragging technique pics.

Echinoporas are members of the Faviidae Family, all of which are also LPS corals.

If your looking for pictures of these, I also have a few.






Both of these corals are most likely Echinopora lamellosa.

Here they are just as frags a couple years ago.

Yep! Long story, but it came in without water. About 2" of it died, and the color faded out, but it's really coming back nicely now.

Well, nice PU. As for the bad luck attached to it:
To the victor, comes the spoils

Glad to read it's coming back. It's a beauty
