Do you know what coral I am talking about?

[chiroreef]

While browsing member tanks and tank builds I came across a coral I had never seen before. I took a screenshot of it and its name but have since had a crash on my hard drive and now I don't remember what thread it was on. The coral looked like it was a stony coral with a tree branching shape to it. The entire body was bright white but the polyps were a dark blue with a blue ring around the base of the polyp. The polyps were rather large, not your typical sps size. Any idea what it could be? Shoot me some pics if you think you know or the name so I can look it up. It has been driving me crazy. Thanks!

Ice fire echinata?

Wow, this may be hard or very easy...

my guess: Acropora Echinata
Found it on reefbuilders: “True†Australian Acropora echinata being imported in reasonable numbers, fair prices

 

[chiroreef]

OK! I found

the picture on my backup! WHAT IS THIS?

Cyphastrea??

 

[Russellaqua]

Looks like Acro echinata to me.

 

[k2parkstar]

I agree with jonbar looks like a branching cyphastrea to me

I think it is a type of Oculina Sp.

Archohelia rediviva from Australia. It was only imported briefly about a year ago. It will be tough to find right now.
