Well, it sure is an interesting looking coral... but one thing that always strikes me as funny about ebay auctions, is every specimen is 'rare' and 'expensive'.

Just like those 'rare' green and orange ricordia... though that frozen sebae anemone that was on a couple weeks ago definitely qualified as 'rare' in my book.

Looks like a nice specimen though... the gold with green is a nice combination.

Yeah, i'd like to know what's rare about it ...... LOL. If only I knew what it was

It doesn't look like acropora sp to me, looks more like pavona or something similar.

Michael_Lambert · 03-18-2004, 05:55 PM

It kind of looks like a Yellow Monticap??

wooddood · 03-18-2004, 05:59 PM

i agree some type of montipora capricornis.

Cosmic · 03-18-2004, 06:42 PM

Definitely not a monti cap.

I agree with RR, most likely a pavona or perhaps pachyseris by the looks of it, but hard to say without a closer shot.
