FFM Coral ID

[DatReefGuy]

Hey guys.

Foolishly, I didn’t take down the names of the frags I purchased at FFM. I have an idea of what a couple of them are. Just don’t know the names. If you could help me out, that would be great. Thank you.

Dan

I’d go with:
42 blastomussa merleti
43 looks like my pc rainbow more of the red shade of it but a nice acro either way
44 blueberry field zoas
45 got another pic by chance? Hard to tell in that one

Thanks Paul. I’ll check this out. Looks like a lot to go through. Lol.

I can get another pic shortly. I remember 45 being some sort of acan.

Most of those names sound familiar except for 42. I could’ve swore the guy told me “millio” something.

The best I can do with the lenses and phone.

Yea I’d say an acanthastrea lordhowensis but they have been reclassifying corals so I could be off or just wrong all together lol

This is true. Haha. Did the Millio name ring a bell at all for #42? I think you are correct with the blasto merletti but for some reason I keep thinking the guy said something else.

Where did you get the greenish zoas from?

No it doesn’t maybe it was a name he bought it as not sure.

Hey Chris. Not exactly sure who it was as my son was asking me for everything he saw.... It was either in room 114 or 116. I'm leaning more towards room 114 when you walked in, towards the left side. (Husband and wife?) I got the PC Rainbow from him also.

I was at the Boston Reefers table and had some smurfette zoas for sale, kind of looked like them but guess not.

Ah dang. I missed ya. Next time I go, I will be kid-less. "When are we leaving?" "Can we go back to the 3d printed stuff" "Dad, I want an axolotl."
