Not great at naming so here is a pic of my slow growing frag. I broke a piece off a few months ago by accident and it is fully encrusted now and growing. 1 Frag is available for $30. Someone had mentioned they wanted it when they were over my house but I forget who...sorry.

No I don't Joe. My frag is only about 3 times as big as the frag I'm selling....it was an accidental break that luckily survived. It orig came from Gumheads colony but he never told me the name.

Hi,in case you still don't have an id for this coral it looks like Acropora Echinata to me and a very nice one at that.Hope this is of help,ltelus.

It does indeed look like an echinata, although it is hard to tell... It could be a spindly tort :)

Some kind of bottlebrush. Very hard to say which but I dont think it is what you guys have been saying. I have a small colony of that coral & it doesn't have the line texture that the one you guys speak of has. Mine also came from Dave. I got it when he broke his tank down & I'm sure it is the same species as the one in the pic.

Hi everyone,i am by no means an expert on coral id,Echinata was my impression from the pic.I have not studied enough echinata closely to know if the linear texture is common to all Echinata(is it?)
But while your all in the mood for coral id maybe i can get some help with this one.It may have even come from one of your displays as i picked it up at Skiptons.I posted the pic on reef central and got one guess as A.nausata but i'm not sure i agree,this frag does not have any totally obvious clues in its structure IMO,thanks,Liam.

Liam, I really like that coral. Have you found out what it is?
