    I dont think Ive seen the branching kind. I'll take anything at this point. Between my display tank crashing and stock tank where I was holding everything from my display tank getting fried, I pretty much lost everything. The sinularia, shrooms and toadstool are the only survivors cause they were in a 10g tank seperate from everything.

    Wow, those are some awsome frags. When my tank was getting full of corals I would always look for little pieces of rubble with zoos on them in the LFS, they usually gave it to me for free since they didn't want to try to sell it. Good times...but seriously those corals are awsome. I love montipora!

    LMAO I use to do the same thing. The LFS I use to work at, I use to always check out the coral tanks to see if I could spot some stray baby coral, the owner would always tell me that if I could get it out, I could have it. I was always finding things, lol.

    That pic, it doesnt show what those zoa's do. They almost turn into themselves and make an umbrella shape to where it looks like the the complete center it s a huge nipple with a skirt. Next time I notice them like that, I'll get a pic of it. Its really odd.

    The speckled flowers is the cloest Ive seen of them though except the specks on the ones in the pic I have are more uniform, then randomly around the center. They have changed color some since I got them, so there is no telling what color they will turn out to be.

    I agree with you on the speckled flowers, yours look more uniform. Specled flower seems to have more variation in the speckles.

    How long have you had the brain?

    Its all a guessing game for now. Ive got a feeling I have a bunch of unnamed zoa's.
