I'm curious what this coral is. I've had it forever. If it isn't clear in the photo, it grows broad, flattened blades. It doesn't show distinct polyps.

Wow...Brad, if I am not on the waitlist for that one, can you put me on? I can't remember what I put my name down for when I was there :)

Beautiful looking coral with a very nice growth pattern.

That particular piece is about 3" across. I have about 5 or 6 separate colonies of this spread throughout the tank. The largest is probably 6".

I've had this for years and years and never known what it was. I like it because it is quite different looking. It is a bit problematic because sand tends to funnel into it, so I have to blow it out frequently. Tanks without sand gobies wouldn't have this problem.

I've added you to the list.

Pavona's are neat little pieces. This one no exception! :)

Man I would love to see your tank one day Brad...

after reading his tank journal, I didn't think I would be so impressed in person, but I was wrong.

Literally the most viewer friendly tank I have ever seen in person.
that pic looks just like the coral in person btw....very nice.
