What in Neptune's World?

Postby liquid » April 13th, 2006, 8:45 pm

In this month's Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine, we have a mystery coral seeking identification. Can you identify this coral?

I'd guess it's an Astreopora myriophthalmia.

I agree that the most likely candidate is Astreopora myriophthalma, although a detailed close up of a skeletal corallite would help clinch it.
