That one I killed awhile back was pretty rare; the yellow echinata with red tips...RIP

That sounds like a real nice piece Mark. Do you have any old pics?

Sorry, That was a joke :angel:

LOL, you had me excited for a minute.

It seems as most people are posting their favorites opposed to some of the rarer Acopora in the trade.

I think these below are somewhat elusive

Ponope Rosaria
Blue Matrix
Willi Milli
Paletta Pink Tip Stag
Grafted Simplex

Here are two that we got in from Aaustrlia. The Pink Corallite one was sold to an LFS in the Midwest. We kept the Echinata for propagation just in case we never got our hands on another one.

I have to agree, those are the corals I find hardest to get.

Yeah I did post some of my favorite rare ones(hard not to do). I got the Ponape Rosaria, Paletta pink and had a small grafted simplex which died on me. I think it was too small when I got it. Also I believe I got that enchinata you posted above. Is that your FF Enchinata on your web site? Thats a nice one and grows pretty fast too, faster then the ice/fire

Never heard of the willi milli anyone have a link?

The Willi Milli was a Prostrata in my opinion but it was the most vibrant Pink with strong blue tips. If someone doesn't beat me too it I have it on my work computer. It is somwhat similar to the Paletta Prostrata that I have but not even close in coloration. The Paletta is more Raspberry Pink to me.

The FF Echinata that came from Bali has blue and green which is different from the Australian one that is solid blue. FF does grow quicker than the Ice Fire.

Those are really sweet acros Eric. I might be coming down with John D in a couple weeks. Hopefully we can me up. I'd love to see the new facility.

Mark, Did you have the pink smoothy when I was there??

I saw it once in John's tank a few months before he decided to take a break. I would love to see it in person.

the real pink smoothy was very nice

I had the WWC version, but it did not quench my thirst. I have since acquired a frament that has been in the works for awhile

I love how people are so enamored with lps as it makes it so much easier to get great sps that people have no clue about

fragfarmer · Apr 4, 2009

When the time is right Joe. In the meantime I will just enjoy everyone else's tanks

Eric, did you get the Willi Milli from Kirk? I got one from him at the 2007 SW-CFM and it's growing nice but I need more light to bring out the true colors.
