Good point Heinz.
That will be up to the official powers that be.

I was using the looser interpretation of no calcium skeleton.
Didn't even think about scientific classification.

...all soft corals have a calcium skeleton, zoas and all kinds of anemones NOT.
Makes no difference to me, I have so many good pictures of REAL soft corals, no problem. And btw picture 2 and 3 are 100% soft corals, also in Europe LoL.

Yes our very unscientific classification of soft coral includes just about everything that is not an LPS or SPS. Pics 2 and 3 are fabulous Heinz!

lcstorc · 04-02-2008, 01:34 PM

They are all gorgeous but the xenia and the zoas are my favorites.

goldenmean · 04-02-2008, 01:47 PM

Heinz I like the zoanthids in #4. Great colors. very spring.

hma · 04-02-2008, 02:39 PM

Many thanks Craig for the clarification, then my pictures 2-4 are useful for the competition.

Craig Manoukian · 04-02-2008, 03:04 PM
