Nothing jaw dropping like above, Ive had this guy for over a year now, and this is the first time I could actually get a shot where you could tell what it is,

Definately changes color with light spectrum and intensity along with
feeding, Im still trying to figure this guy out. So far I think the colors when its partly shaded and low make the bodies colors more better
but Ive noticed the eyes were a brighter pink when getting alot of light.huh..

So, oxypora or Green Acanthastrea rotundoflora? The first picture is from about a year ago and the second it recent. Is it losing its color because of not enough light?

First bought:

Recent Pic:

Also, interesting growth pattern ... dripping/drooping.

FYI. It was sold to me as an echino. Great pictures in this thread. Wishing I had more room to have a bunch of these in my tank.

I'd guess it could be losing its color from to much light. Try to move it to a lower light portion of your tank and see if the color deepens for you. I had one of my echinos go light on me and after dropping it much lower in the tank it colored up beautifully for me.

 

[longra]

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

Gotta keep it going. Some of my favs

Fusion Echino

Mystical Echino

Orange Sherbert

Flying Saucer

4 color chalice

 

[divecj5]

That flying saucer challice is pretty wicked looking with the four "eyes" like that. Nice collection you have there.

 

[fussoverthis]

Sweet! What's the one to the left of the orange sherbert?

 

[ReefMonger]

I think Atlantis Aquariums blood red echino

 

[hopo05]

This was in local lfs for ages covered in green hair algae and aiptasia hence the tissue recession.
Enchino or oxy ?.
