First coral in an SPS reef is... Diploastrea heliopora

Funny how things work out. Got a great price for this guy, next to nothing, because of the bleaching. Tissue looks great otherwise, hopefully it will recover. This is my absolute favorite LPS coral. Live colonies in the west Pacific are documented to have been living and growing for over 1000 years.

Very nice, I had one similar that a LFS gave to me because it lost a lot of tissue. They said "you can have it, but beware its gonna be an ammonia bomb". I took my chances and brought it back to life.
