More than one type of Hawkins? SPS ID needed.

Picked up this nice frag yesterday from my LFS. They told me it is a Hawkings but I am not sure. It is very baby blue instead of the dark blue/purple the ORA Hawkins is. More than one kind of Hawkins of does this have a different name?

No, it doesnt look to be an ORA hawkins at all. Again this the problem with peoole trying to attach existing names to corals.

Yep, ORAs Hawkins Echinata is actually turaki, and i agree that you have turaki. Could be ORAs Hawkins if you trust that person to not knock off a name like dvanacker was saying.

Thanks!

It was never sold to me as an ORA version, just "Hawkins". Did come on a regular plug and not the stupid ORA black plugs.
