This coral is a Mycedium.

 

[mschriskim]

Randy, thanks for your confirm.

I need to take two colony that I recently got and see if it is Echinopora or phillia...

They have really funny looking mouth like green but it is like flower...

I will take some pics... I do know it is echino but which one....

Thanks

[SPStoner]

My guess is Echinophyllia Aspera

Ok, here is my new addition

This one has a lot to color up I got it because it's got green eye and pink outside but pink part is not so good now...
I think this is echinopora with green eye which looks like flower.

This one has vary funny marking on it's body two different tone....
with green eye which looks like flower. I think is Echinophillia.

Thanks

Is that one from Atlantis? I was eyeballing one they had similar to it, cool looking 2-tone alien eye.

 

[mschriskim]

Yes, second one is from there....

First one is different one than second one.

: ) I just love the color and might color up more...

Thanks

i think they're both echinophyllia. do you have any echinopora? the texture is way diff than echinophyllia.

Ditto. Echinopora are more like a warty plating monti, whereas the Echinophyllia are distinct in their LPS-like tissue.

mschriskim-
check out the pic 2nd from the top of this page....that is an echinopora. Tissue is thin, more fragile and as Mac says, like a warty monti. Hope that helps!
Both new ones are cool..congrats!

Watermelon chalice

Watermelon chalice

I guess God was smiling my way when I ran across this! I saw the Watermelon chalice posted as the latest edition on tyree's Reef Farmers and immediately went into "chalice lust".

It's the most vivid pink I've ever seen on a coral. The first week it had no green on it but as you can see it's starting to "green up".

Enjoy!

[okiebones]

[SuperNerd]

what type of lighting and water flow is the best for these types of corals? I've seen some at the lfs but they don't know much about them...

 

[okiebones]

I think that mosrt LPS tend more towards low to moderate lighting and low to moderate flow.
