Subject: LPS corals - Elegance Coral (Catalaphyllia jardinei) [The Catalaphyllia Elegance Coral is a large polyp stony (LPS) often referred to as Elegant Coral, Wonder Coral, or Ridge Coral. It is truly the most unique and interesting stony coral known. Its polyps are extended during the day showing off its vast array of color-tipped tentacles. Under actinic lighting, the fluorescent qualities are beautiful with lime green, blue, orange, or purple-tipped tentacles which vary between branched or round and bulbous shapes. The most common color variety available to aquarists is gold with pink or purple-tipped polyps. ]

Edit: In case someone has or might think otherwise, the comment below was made in jest. Chris' photography skills are fantastic and his choice in corals is superb. I realy enjoy seeing his pictures and he has every right to post them here or anywhere else for that matter. My original post follows...

 

That's just not fair Chris. Those of us with 'normal' corals can't compete with professional photographers posting pictures of corals with bright and very patriotic colors!!!
