Does this micro look familiar?

[Fliger]

I got this from Anthony Yang a few years ago - this pic is a couple years old. It was my favorite, I'd pretty much killed it - all polyps had receeded about a year ago - but some TLC got it back to about 90%. I'm having trouble uploading my new pix - but does anyone know the "name" of this? I had bought a few from him before all the fancy designer names.

Just wondering - thanks! Its the one on the left - it looks orange but was really more of a pink. This was taken back in the 2 megapixel days. :lol:

UFO? Stardust? I've no clue...:lol:

Hey Fliger, What's the micro on the right?
I have one similar to yours on the left.

That looks very similar! Not sure if I still have the one on the right, will have to check. I found a better photo.

Regardless, that one looks sweet!


Looks like our teams have another chance to play each other in the postseason, this time in baseball

Good luck! Hopefully it happens..

Oh man, went to the game last night - BUMMER. Rockies are so hot man, how do you beat a team like that. I like all four teams still around - but I'm pulling for AZ and the tribe! And hoop is right around the corner, my friend.

Who cares what anyone decided to name it to make an extra buck? Nice pieces, and that's all that matters.

Thats not my gig, it doesn't matter. I wanted to identify it for a trade. Also just curious since I've had it before these little guys started getting funny names. OTOH, it is kind of important to most collectors to know origins, since certain micros do better in different lighting situations. You could have an Indi Day and never know it, if you couldn't identify it since it does best under specific lighting.

I think the names are helpful. To a certain extent they help with linage. The name labeling has gotten out of hand these days, but its still helpful to know whats what and where its from.

Lineage is one thing, to the extent that it helps with knowing a particular corals' requirements, but the name labeling is waht I thought the OP was after, and it's that name labeling that has gotten way past ridiculous. Obviously, the OP already knows the corals requirements, so I was just wondering what could be gained by sticking a label on it?

Just my opinion. I didn't mean to sidetrack the thread or cause a general ruckus.

I got what looks like the same one from anthony a couple of years back, one of my favorites......

Then...

Now...

Regardless of what it's called, it's one of my favorites..

Ouch 10 - 3.

Hopefully, a better showing tonight for my Tribe. I didn't stay awake long enough to see the end of the DBacks game, but caught Sportcenter today. Another bummer....

Luckily, these LCS are 7 games!
