New multi rock....couple of ID's please

[avbryce1]

I got this rock from my lfs they had it in a nano cube for over a year now, so when they decided to sell it I was first in line.
It was a total impulse buy and I have no idea what 3 of the corals are but I know That I have plenty of light because it was under less light in the nanocube than it is now.

and I need an ID on this too

check out the pale green button polyps

another shot of ? sps

 

[shoreliner11]

Very interesting sps. Can't be sure but it looks like a species Montipora to me. Does it have protruding corallites(area where polyps come out of)? Other than that very intersting growth form.

 

[avbryce1]

some of the many sick zoos on the rock

 

[avbryce1]

more of the zoos

 

[shoreliner11]

Now I'm second guessing myself. Anyway, I haven't seen anything with a growth form quite like that. It doesn't seem to have any growth pattern whatsoever.

zoos starting to open under actinics

 

[avbryce1]

yes the corallites do protrude but not all that much and up close they look a little diffrent from montipora

That sps is really interesting. There are some 'rough' branching forms of monitpora, but I'm not sure what you've got there. A macro would help, but maybe one of the sps gurus will know. The other thing, in the second picture, I think is a turbinaria, or scroll cup. A very cool rock, indeed. Nice find.

 

[ophiura]

WOW!! Nice find!! :cheer:

 

[avbryce1]

:happy: Tanks!.. now If I could just find out what all I found:notsure:

 

[avbryce1]

still no one knows what type of sps that is?
