I Google galaxy and I am 90 percent sure this is not that. It seems galaxy is lps and this i am pretty sure is sps. The tenicales you see are less than a 1/4 long the picture is just super zoomed in.

The more I look the more I agree thank you nike. I got those three sps and four frags of zoo that are super colorful for $40. I know one of the zoas are LA Lakes. The rest are super bright.

Sure thing....these are the ones i am pretty sure are Lakers. They are more of a yellow gold in person.

And the rest of the zoa's

looks like you used dry rock

Right on the only way to go think. The other rock you see I'm the tank is my rock from other tanks I used for seed. The dry rock I got is beautiful. Mined from a old reef on dry land in Florida. Sure I will get in trouble here if I tell you where I ordered it. But I will say it was $85 for 50 lbs free shipping. And 100 pounds filled my tank and sump. Don't have to pay for water weight....

the dry rock is natural. it will turn dark over time like normal live rock. these rocks are calcium based and are excavated from an ancient reef site, why isnt it natural?
these rocks are by far better than live rock from fiji or tonga imo. i use it and they have a better shape and better porosity
