I have other SPS that I may consider fragging also but I will wait till you get here..

madadi 01/09/2008 01:24 AM

ill take the orange digi and blue tort if available

Pufferpunk 01/09/2008 01:46 AM

I don't really want the Kenya tree but would like the polyps. If I have to take both, I will. Aren't those Grandis polyps?

-=Efrain=- 01/09/2008 01:52 AM

Puffer - I have another rock with just polyps on it.. I will take a picture tomorrow and post it but they are the same type.

Mojo Jojo 01/09/2008 01:52 AM

3 and 4 are both hammers ... sorry just figured I'd chime that in;)

-=Efrain=- 01/09/2008 01:53 AM

Madadi - You got it..

-=Efrain=- 01/09/2008 01:55 AM

Mojo - Thanks..

GrandeGixxer 01/09/2008 02:51 AM

9 looks like a hydno.

Pufferpunk 01/09/2008 02:54 AM

I was thinking the same thing.

Sullyman 01/09/2008 09:43 AM

#9 is a Pavona, give it plenty of room, strong sting to other corals.

Flint&Eric 01/09/2008 10:35 AM

hynophora, most likely h.exesa or possibly a small h.rigida...pavona does not have such a dense skeleton or meaty polyps. both have very strong stings and kill most sps that they touch.

Sullyman 01/09/2008 11:10 AM

Efrain, is that the piece I gave you? It's a Pavona, here's the piece before he got it and a pic of my colony.

-=Efrain=- 01/09/2008 11:43 AM

Sully - Mine looks to be a lot smaller.. But its been awhile since I got this piece and I don't really remember where I got it from..

Sullyman 01/09/2008 01:49 PM

I'm pretty sure you got it from me and it is a Pavona.
The 1st pic is my colony, the 2nd the frag.
It's one of those gray area sps, acts like an lps but classified as sps. It sends sweepers, so it needs to have room around it.
It reminds me of grn shag carpet

mbierzyc 01/09/2008 05:35 PM

I wish I knew you were selling the blue tort and orange digi --- i would've swooped those two up.

-=Efrain=- 01/09/2008 06:01 PM

1. Mushroom Rock - Pending
4. Larger Hammer - Pending
5. Blue Tort - Pending
6. Orange Digi - Pending

bartecki 01/09/2008 06:53 PM

I would call that a hydnopora and I would also say that number 9 is a hydno.

Rod Buehler 01/10/2008 02:11 PM

#10 appears to be a colt AKA Cladiella

6 is a montipora but likely not a digitata

-=Efrain=- 01/10/2008 02:32 PM

Thanks Rod..

Pufferpunk 01/10/2008 03:19 PM

Told ya! :p I was trying to get a good pic of mine but I couldn't get a clear shot. Very stinging coral!

Thanks for the Grandis polyps. They are still about 1/2 way closed. I hope they color up well in my tank. Not too many folks like them but I'm odd like that. I like snake polyps too...

-=Efrain=- 01/11/2008 05:18 PM

Payday Bump..

Sullyman 01/11/2008 08:17 PM

Rod, you're free to call it what you want but it's a Pavona Decussata, not hydnopora.

Flint&Eric 01/11/2008 09:58 PM

sully the corals previously posted and that in your link are not the same. the image efrain posted clearly shows the hydnophore cones indicative of hydnophoras, the corals in this thread are hydnophora exesa. besides the hydnophores, the polyps are considerably larger and meatier, and skeleton is much more dense than P.decussata.
