Still Looking

[Atomikk]

I am still looking for an ID for this one:

 

[Whisperer]

Latistella ?

 

[Atomikk]

For my species:
Growth Formation-caespitose
Corallite Structure-(Radial) tubular, (Axial) round, flat
Corallite Shape- some tubular, appressed and some nariform (nose-like)
Coenestum - smooth

I don't think its a A. latistella

 

[Whisperer]

So what makes it not latistella, can you post the characteristics of latistella?

 

[Atomikk]

From the AIMS site on A. latistella: Colonies form corymbose plates or clumps. Branchlets are thin and delicate, straight or uniformly curved. Axial corallites are usually distinctive. Radial corallites have a rosette arrangement, are usually in rows and are appressed with rounded openings. Tentacles are usually extended during the day.

The big distinction is the rosette like arrengament of radial corallites

Nice SPS can I have some?

Well, I think I may have found a winner...
