5. Montipora spongodes
This is the classic one that's been in the club a long time, but I don't see much these days. Can grow super fast. Super hardy and can have kind of a purple and green color to it at the same time.
6. Montipora palawanensis
Slow growing, but usually hardy once established.
Here’s a photo of a larger colony:

7. Red macroalgae #1
Tangs would likely mow this down in a second, but it is very pretty and grows quite well, but not super fast. Will attach in time, but all the pieces I've added to the auction are held on merely with fishing wire. In time the fishing wire could be cut off.
8. Red macroalgae #2 - with Efflatounaria
This one and the next also have some of Sanjay's Efflatounaria growing on them.
9. Red macroalgae #3 - with Efflatounaria
10. Orange and green zoathid rock
Love these zoanthids, don't know the 'proper' common name for them. They grow quickly, but don't like super bright light.
11. Purple Acropora tortuosa
Maintains GREAT color, and has a pretty decent growth rate as well.
12. Maroon macroalgae #1
This grew off of a tube anemone in my tank at work. Tangs would likely mow this down in a second, but it is very pretty and grows quite well, but not super fast. Will attach in time, but all the pieces I've added to the auction are held on merely with fishing wire. In time the fishing wire could be cut off. Although you cannot see it well in the photo, the branches are quite beautiful
13. Maroon macroalgae #2
14. Maroon macroalgae #3
15. Sanjay's purple Efflatonaria #1
Originally from Sanjay Joshi in Pennsylvania. Photosynthetic soft coral with great color!
16. Sanjay's purple Efflatonaria #2

20. The classic....Screaming green tree coral
Here’s another photo of a colony:

21. Rainbow Favia
The one also from last year's auction. Moderate growth rate, but LOOK at the freaking color of this thing!!
Have fun at the auction guys!!!! Remember to BE nice at the auction and thank the club's leadership and people helping to put this thing on. This is a HUGE amount of effort...I know...I did it for a few years.
