Never heard them referenced as that, just "sun corals". Goes to show even if you've been around since the stone age, you can still learn something new :lol:

Those are really nice "sun corals". I have been looking at a nice frag like that myself. A little more work as far as feeding though. Check out melevreef.'s pics on them, they are beautiful!
