Like I said I go by what people sold them to me ;)

also the pic is the same growth pattern but only in blue ..

The branching pattern is different but that is neither here nor there. I understand about calling corals what you get them as, thats how so many people believe the ORA hawkins echinata is an echinata.

I guess I am just a but different as I try to ID almost every coral that I come across. I am on my second Veron set as I already wore one out :)
 
Yeah I buy/trade cuz I like it and the name is just a part of it.. It was sold to me for that name which I don't know what it was buy bought it cuz its nice ..:D

Me too. I like corals that catch my eye, crazy name or not :D
 
Named corals are overrated, if you're not caught up in it, don't get started ;) I saw a friends tank for the first time on Saturday and every piece I asked about were wild/aquacultured pieces...

There were some nice Aussie acros coming in not too long ago. Fragfarmer Eric had one, Matt @ FnF had a nice one and 250G on RC had a sweet one...
 
Microlados is one example not LE but I wouldn't set up an sps tank without it :)...
 
It was more brown than anything the last time I was there. I made a trip about 8 weeks ago looking for 5 pieces and that was one of them. I ended up coming home with nada :(
 
Here's a nice one you don't see often:

Wish it looked that good in my tank!

Mako got that stag from me. I got it directly from Rommel at Ultimatefrags. He called it Ultimates pink stag. Not sure, what other names it has.It does best under high lighting. And a super fast grower. Just glad I finally got a frag of it back. :D
 
thanks Mark I love the pic and wouldnt mind even paying for it brown if I knew it would color up. but I would like to talk to someone who has at least seen it colored up before i pay 150 for a half an inch.
 
Half the fun for me is keeping a lookout for cool new looking color combos, or getting a piece that has potential. Most of the wild pieces need some time to heal, get used to captivity and then morph into tank settings.

I have a Japanese porites that I picked up from Jason Fox that is pretty sik. Especially since I KNOW it came out of Japan. But it isn't anything fancy as far as colors though.
Also found some SWEET wild monti's that came out of Indo I am waiting to see what they cook up to be.
Thats more fun that just buying the next ORA piece. For me at least...
 
I picked up a monti saturday in Alabama that is green with red polyps and it puts the chilipepper and seasons greetings to shame and its not le just a piece someone ended up with. My favorite le monti right now has to be the grinch.

For me - Mind Trick - then the Grinch once it is colored up right. Mine is still healing from Jason.
 
Yeah - thats why I like it. You doing high light on it?
 
It was really yellow and I moved it to medium light and now it is neon green and the polyps are like fire orange.
