 Mystery Coral ID My LFS guy and I have been keeping an eye on this pc. since he got it in about 3 months ago. Haven't ID'd it so I thought maybe someone here could help. He gave it to me tonight and said he figured it has gone as far as it can under his t5 VHO's and I should take it home, put it under my MH and when it grows bring him back frags to sell. It is a plating coral of some type. The whole thing is wafer thin like a monti. Anyone know what it is for sure?

| Re: Mystery Coral ID So far on other sites the consensus seem to be Merulina ampliata.

| Re: Mystery Coral ID After a day or two of getting input now seems that the overall opinion is either Pavona or Leptoseris. The coral is from the Pacific as the LFS gets their stuff from Bali usually. Gonna let er grow and see what becomes of it.

| Re: Mystery Coral ID I agree. Looks more like a favia than anything, but it doesnt have the typicall circles which make it look similar to Merulina. Hard to say though.
