@encrustingacro @i cant think any opinions on today's vote?

 

[encrustingacro]

Acanthophyllia, Indophyllia (Cynarina cf macassarensis) and Cynarina (lacrymalis) are likely closely related, although molecular studies have failed to turn up specimens for Acanthos and Indophyllia.

Interesting. Would've included cynarina if it wasn't voted off. Are duncans related to euphyllia/fimbriaphyllia?

No, they are dendrophylliids; they are more related to Tubastrea and Heteropsammia, with their closest relative being Turbinaria.

Wow, that is surprising, so a photosynthetic dendrophyllia?

Photosynthetic dendrophylliID, not Dendrophyllia. Dendrophyllia is a genus. DendrophylliIDAE does not mean DendrophylliA.

Hold your horses. Not yet.


Next vote will be hard for you then


(Acan enchinata vs acan lord)

 

[kevgib67]

Oh dear god! I have both!

Such a tough call here as these are my two favorite corals, but I went with Indo due to their unique color / patterns and structure and the fact that they have only recently been available at reasonable numbers in the hobby.
