Yeah, don't think it's a maryae either.

The AIMS coral pages are probably among the best online place to ID SPS corals - although a bit tricky to navigate. But they have pictures of whole large colonies to close up of bare skeletons, which makes for easier IDing.

And a lot of pretty pictures :D

Does the frag you received look like the pic? I'm asking because Ken does have one coming so I think I'll grab it.

it looks like a colorful fuzzy stick to me:lol:

A. squarrosa is the closest to the picture displayed. The Axial corallites look exactly like its radial corallites.. a big distinction in A. squarrosa.

Thanks Atomikk, I think that's the best ID I can get for now. Maybe revisit it in a year when it has grown.

Yep, they match. :D All the frags I got from Fragalot were correct to the photos.

Myka, when those colonies get a little larger, I may need to procure a small frag... for identification purposes >>

Myka, do you have that coral now? Has it changed colour?
