Those are some real nice looking pieces Colin. Great colour on all of them and the polyp extension on that A. tenius is crazy.

Is that what this is? It's freakin awesome! Not sure I've seen this species before.

Here's a couple of shots....This first one is just for you, Colin! Note: I don't do any post capture colour correction, and I have not figured out exactly how to compensate for my new bulbs....so the colour balance on these shots is a bit odd.

This 2nd shot is actually one single piece of coral. It looks like it is going to turn red because of my new bulbs, but it is pretty bizarre looking right now! I suppose I should sell it right now and give it some kind of Red/Purple/Turquoise exciting sounding name...

Looks a lot like this one I have, I believe to be A.aculeus.

That Montipora samarensis (often sells as carrot digi) is dangerously close to that hydnophora. One day you may look and find what looks like a spiderweb going from that green hydno to the monti or a bare skeleton that used to be the monti.

I would give it at least 3 inches.
