Unresolved What are you sps

I know iv seen it before but i cant remember the name for the life of me.

If im not mistaken its one of the more aggressive species.



And while im at it could use some help with this little guy too



He is pretty cool, he has neon green polyps at the base and blueish ones on the branches and tips

 

Very nice SPS but can;t think of its name along with the LPS. You are right on the LPS being very aggressive though.

 

On my phone and can't quite tell. Thinking hydnophora.

 

That is the name I was looking for.

 

Yes Hydnophora branchng/horn, and very aggressive. The Acropora needs to grow out, you can not see any corallite structures, growth pattern or true coloration.

 

thx everyone

 

doing some reading on Hydnophoras i came across this little beauty... crazy colour

Amazing coloration of an Australogyra zelli branching moon coral from Malaysia

 

I have read of hydrophoras being so aggressive that sometimes a reefer will keep one on a frag plug to move around and place next to aiptasia as its sting is strong enough to kill the aiptasia. The same is said of the elegance coral.

I have not tested this but I do have an elegance coral and have never seen an aiptasia pop up any where near it!!
