I don't think it's rare but not collected as much as other corals. I think it's more of an old school coral...

No one else has any???

Well you could give me some and then there would be 2 of us.

Thanks, it looks even better when the polyps are out. They used to be out all the time but since switching to leds they only come out at night.

I'm pretty sure this came from Reefer Madness back in the day too. This is Astreopora scabra. This is the only color I've ever seen them in, which probably limits how collectible they are.

What color is the body of it? Hard to tell with the polyps out. What color are the polyps?

The body is a rusty red, polyps are very similar in color with a very slight greenish tint on the oral disc.

WhenI first got mine it was mostly green with a little purple around the edges and a small red spot and the polyps were purple with white streaks in them.

I beleive mine is astreopora myriopthalma not really 100% sure.
