Here are my two Sarcophyton sp.

The first spot that one of them inhabited in the tank:
I got this coral from a friend almost 4 years ago. It was basically dead. It was a tiny little nub of a coral, completely white, with no polyps. I slowly nursed it back to health and now it's this huge thing! When fully expanded, it's about 12" in diameter. Bobby has given me some great tips to get this thing fragged.



My husband has now moved it over to the other side of the tank (I shouldn't leave him alone with this stuff!)





The second Sarcophyton sp was bought about 1 year ago from Germany. I love this one as well, because the polyps are incredibly long and sway back and forth with the current....hypnotizing.

Okay...this is one of my favorite corals. I got it at a frag swap. It was completely brown. Over the past 2-3 months, it's slowly changed from brown to having blue tips, to lightening up throughout the whole coral, and now the whole coral is basically blue. I love it!

Here's a cute little Pavona sp. We accidently broke it while moving rocks around, so now there's two pieces somewhere in the tank! I love these corals...I love how hairy they are!




And here's my Blastomussa. I think these are really cool corals.

Are you sure? I thought I remember it being a different coral that the Hydnophora exesa that I had bought the same day. It doesn't quite look the same as the Hydnophoras that I've searched on line...but, maybe I just haven't found the right site.

uigh...I'm going to keep doing searches. I think I might even have it written down at home. The polyps are much different than in my other Hydnophora that I have. I'll see what I can find....

Oh my God Bobby! You're super!! That's what it is! I, for the life of me, could NOT REMEMBER what it was called. How many internet coral identification searches can one do??

That's what it is...although it has a slightly different growth form than is typical, but all the
