    Oh thank you jonjonwells!

    That is a good one, do you have the common name for that acropora by any chance?

    TIA

    Yes they fit the description perfectly. Smooth skinned with small polyps that barely extend.

    I have a green slimer that extends its polyps so far you cannot see any skeleton. they are HUGE. cannot get a good photo. this one is a Pocilipora frommy old tank. I miss this coral and hope to get a frag of it this weekend.
    it has a very thin fragile skeleton that was solid white with these rusty colored polyps.

    Those are pretty impressive, love the Millepora, great picture.

    The Pocilipora is a great color. The only one available around here are the green/brownish ones.

    Yes Dingo your killing with the German Blue polyp, nice piece. I mean really did you have to show me that ;D

    The Tenuis is a really nice piece too, I bet the camera does not pick up the true color.

    Would love a piece of lemonade just have not found one yet but the hunt is on.
