While not the best picture, here is my favorite coral. It is a galaxea about the size of a football. I've fragged it numerous times.

I grew this monti from a frag. I love the Muted army green with the white border. I haven't see this type a lot. I normally see them bright green with purple edges. When my frag tank goes up, I will have frags of this one. I have a trapped clam underneath it.

Sorrry to change the direction of the thread, but what type of clam and how did it end up trapped? Is the clam OK or is it dead now?

 

[beerkegman]

The clam is ok, but I have to frag the Monti because the clam is underneath, but I like how the monti looks. I don't want to put the hammer to it.

Galaxea is so incredibly easy to frag, I'd venture to say that it is easier even than most soft corals. Each individual poly arises from a calcareous "horn" or "tooth" -shaped cone. You just snap one of these off with your fingers and in a few months you have a new galaxea about 3-4" across

I forgot to give the funny background on my galaxea. I got it for free from my college. It kept killing their other corals and even killed two clownfish that were stupid enough to try and nest in it.

well I dont find it particularly interesting except when the tenticles are out.

Awsome pictures.
I just did not have time this weekend to post some pictures from my tank. To much NFL action.
