What is your coolest Coral ?

Others always comment on the euphyllias, but i am strangely fond of my leathers- several toadstools (biggest about 8in diameter) and my colt colony which is easily a foot across.

Your not the only one. Mine doesn't have cool colors mut I love my toadstool coral.
 
I got a lot of nice corals, but the "coolest" I must say is this unknown LPS coral that showed up as a hithhiker. :)

I've seen a lot of small skeletal remains all over on what Is either indonesian or caribbean rock, but this one actually had some tissue fragments, in the skeletal recesses, that survived the journey here.

Even cooler is I finally got an ID on it. Siderastrea radians or Lesser Starlet Coral. A caribbean coral which means getting it as a hitchhiker is the only way to legally obtain it. :)

Question, could this coral be legally fragged and redistributed?

I'm not American, so I wouldn't dare answer that question.

My understanding is that caribbean stony corals are a dicey matter in the US, since they are not just protected by CITES, but the Endangered Species Act as well.
