Those paly's are awesome! They're called Cherry Bombs, but it's not the same Cherry Bomb in Zoaid. I've seen others call them specked red PE. I have 2 frags from different sources, and they're awesome!

I was told by 2 different sources that those are Carribean. A LFS has them and said a friend of his collected them and sent those to him. I also have a friend who works at a wholesaler and told me the same. How he has those in his tanks, I have no idea, but it is illegal to export corals from Puerto Rico.

Coral Morphologic deals in Floridian and Caribbean zoa's. They harvest their own as well, and they get some really really nice ones. They got a lot of photo's of them to, obviously, so you might consider checking their photos out. They are a sponsor here.
