yellow efflo

Certain. I wouldn't call them common per-se, but I certainly would sooner call them that than absent. We don't have the same culture with corals you guys do where naming conventions take place, very little is given a name (with the exception of "millies" which refers to about 5 different similar species) so there's not much of that to contend with.

I've personally seen at least 6 species not listed in Australian waters in the last 12 months collected. So either they've been introduced... or someone sucks at mapping.

what do You think?

nork, sorry a bit skeptical. 99% of the people out there can't tell the difference between and efflo and a soli, and you are saying the naming is based on the culture? Efflo, and soli are not the common names for these corals they are just shortened versions of the scientific names. Eh ah well, when I see one I'll believe it until then not to be rude, but I'm going to have to say you are probably mistaken, or just don't know the difference yet.


In terms of the pics.
2nd pic looks like a bleached, purple rim green soli, and that coral in front looks really off.. 1st pics looks a bit "enhanced" The acro below looks very un-natrually lit. Maybe yellow under like solid RB leds.. Lay off the processing, and re-post please.

I'm saying that unlike the US and various parts of Europe and Asia, we don't have any culture of giving any species identification, even rudimentary. Very rarely does any sort of nomenclature make it here aside from "stag" and that sort of thing, with the exception of "mille" (which is what I was saying). It's pretty much just, "red Acro" at the most exciting.

Having seen bleached skeleton samples from both collected in our waters within several minutes of one another under magnification, I have no doubt of what I've seen - especially given how vastly different their corallite structure is even at a superficial level. There's a lot here that Veron and his counterparts have not acknowledged, sometimes in very unusual places - and in the case of efflorescens, explicitly states that it's a poorly known species and has a potentially wider distribution. I understand your cynicism and in fact welcome it, but I assure you that this isn't my first time around the maypole :beer:
