Thanks, and kind of confirmed what I was learning about that sp suffix. It is interesting that i did indeed find one pic on the internet that looks exactly like mine (at least to my eyes), but also just has the sp designation. So maybe I should name it.... haha.

And thanks for looking. My tank is still a very early work in progress, and just starting with the SPS. I am learning lots, though, which is a big part of the fun.

haha if that's just starting you're going to need to clear some shelf space for your tank of the month awards.

Shhh, you're not helping....

But honestly, my tank is still almost bare on one side, and I have too much SPS on top where it is shading the lower spots. So, it will take some time and shifting around some rocks, before it looks decent. Coral and rock placement is just another part of the learning, I guess.

Regarding identification, a coral's environment can dictate it's morphology, which makes identification even more challenging.

Thanks. It's slow progress, but very happy with how my SPS is turning out. I've had to do quite a bit of pruning with some of them, and now am thinking might have to move some rocks around to change the placements. And I have some serious warfare happening in a couple spots.

hey, didn't nobody tell you that you can't have nice healthy, growing SPS with LEDs ???? Apparently your tank missed that memo.
