Algae Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I went up to Garrett's Premium Aquarium on Saturday on a road trip with Clay and found this guy. I remember Garrett talking about it a month or two ago as being a very unusual morph with colors the same as a gold fluorescent Pavona Maldivinesis. It is truly a strange and very striking specimen. I moved it just before the pic so it is a little unhappy. Even so, it has it's tentacles ready (they were even extended in the bag) Very striking Acanthophyllia. I feel lucky to get it after being on display for so long! Thanks Garrett! I am a fan of these LPS! Pic with another, more typical Acanthophyllia and a Bleeding Apple Scolymia. None are really pleased with being moved and are under-inflated. The Acanthophyllia are about 4 inches or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandoftiki Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I love the color! I've been adding some red and pink zoas to my pico lately. That would be perfect--if I had room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Nice and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you using the scientific names of these corals! A big thank you- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
