That is a good "explanatan" I think you may have actually nailed this one. Good call. We have never seen this kind of Coral until now.

Very interesting.

I've never seen one in person either - only in literature. Are you fragging it or selling the colony?

We are going to frag the colony as we would like to add it to our signature collection, due to its rarity we will see if we can grow frags from the mother colony.

We had to put a name to it for reference purposes so we called it a "Nebula" Coral. :wink:

definitely a lepto, i've had the almost exact same coral, they like low flow, low light, i dunno if its rare though as alot of stores in cali had them when i was there last month don't think they are really premium pieces like chalices as they were pretty cheap for some really colorful colonies down there anywhere from 40 bucks to 60.

Very good to know, maybe they are just not as common here or something; anyways, I have adjusted the price of the frags accordingly since we know what it is now.

Myka,

You have earned yourself a free frag for the ID.

Aw, thanks! Funny thing is that I was already checking out your website, as I was planning to possibly order this piece. :D
