Lynn,

 

I think yours is actually a Acanthophyllia deshayesiana or Cynaria... they are alot bigger than scolymia... I was trying to figure out what they are earlier this year.. http://www.wamas.org/forums/index.php?show...;show=&st=0

Yeah i was reading somewhere that they are closely related and a lot of people catalog the as the same but from a different location. I bought mine from Johnny at BRK. I will ask him if there is a difference. Either way i think it a pretty cool looking coral.

Yours is a very nice color! Want to trade for one of mine?
