No need SeanT, I already knew that as well. But thats not what you nor I were talking about. If it bugs you as much as your starting to bug me, just walk away SeanT. I appreciate new ideas and my ego is not on the line here and welcomely am open for facts, as I am here to learn just as much as the next reefer. Im not here to debate,or argue with some one who doesnt have a credible leg to stand on other than there own antagonistical outbursts.
If you want to help, then help!Otherwise, youve said your peice(s).If this is an issue we have great mods here at RC and I dont question there judgment and intervention/placement of threads therein.
Sorry to everyone else, And DO GREATLY appreciate those that have contributed minus one cynic.

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.

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.

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!

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 :sad1:

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.

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.
