ID this one...

It could be the Hells Kitchen but it looks nothing like the frag I already have. Then again, different tanks can produce different results. I contacted the guy where the guy that I got it from got it but he's yet to respond. It's the reddest coral Ive ever seen and these short green/teal feeders are out every time I look at it...

Is it a chalice of some sort? The guy I got it from called it a favia but I doubt that. The body is super smooth in person, what do you think?

The pic does no justice to the red it is in person...

Favites pentagona of war coral.

The more I look at the picture, you could be right. Ive seen plenty of the green eyed variety but never yellow. Im telling you, everyone that looked in my tank asked about it. It's super bright and looks nothing like a common war coral...

I should have recognized it. Gadgets has stock in superglue I think! lol

I can't talk, I go though 5 of the IC's every couple months. (at least)

Nice piece btw - I saw it in his tank before, very NICE.
