ID please

[TAXMAN]

I hope someone can ID this coral for me. I cant find it anywhere.

[::pete::]

I cant ID, but here is a good link (http://whelk.aims.gov.au/coralsearch/coralsearch.php) that might help. Put in your info and its loaded with pictures to match it to.

UMMM. I dont know much about it other than encrusting, I get 794 results. I'll go blind looking at the computer that long. LOL

[::pete::]

Try narrowing it down. Describe the polyps as you see them and such. After the list is generated you can exclude all that you know it isnt like acropora ect.

Is it hairy? Pavona

[TAXMAN]

It is hairy. Thankd for the Pavona hint. And I'll try to narrow it down. And look at the Meralina.

[TAXMAN]

Ok. I think it is a Pavona decussata. Thanks for the link Pete.
