what is this?

[amonte]

Hi, Can anyone tell me what this is? I can't find it anywhere. I got it at a frag swap and the fuy said it was a grizzly maze echino. I don't know anything about them and can't remember what he said about it. I guess you can tell me anything, and maybe I'll remember.:rolleye1: Anyway here it is. any help would be great.
Thanks

Im not sure who made up the grizzly maze part, but it does appear to be an Echinophyllia, or some other related genus.
IME they will tolerate a wide range of lights, but color up and grow the best under heavy blue light that isnt very intense. VHOs or T-5s would be better for this coral than halides- that said, I have all of my echinos, oxys, and mycedium under halides, you just need to shade them a bit.

Thank you,
that answers all of my questions, I'm sure I can find the right spot for it.
Thanks again
