Best sites & threads for SPS ID

[thebanker]

What are the best websites or threads for ID'ing the various named SPS? Also, is there a good website that explains the subtle morphological differences between the various acroporids (shape of corallites, growth patterns, etc.)?

All I know is http://www.coralpedia.com and Marc Levinson's http://www.melevsreef.com

Thanks for the links! Ok, just in case that site ever goes down, these are some awesome SPS ID links. Eventually I want to recreate what the zeovit forum has done, and post links to ID threads of positively ID'd SPS on RC.

If you run into scientific explanations of morphological differences within the acroporidae family, post them up.

- Thorough acroporid coverage. Can we recreate this on RC?

Links to the AIMS internal google search for "seriatopora hystrix". I chose this as the default search because it's one of my favorite species, and it provides an example of the quality data you can find on the site.

There has to be more good links out there.
