man, im just gonna have to stop going in there...oh, maybe not :unsure

went in to drop off some macroalgae and came home with these two beauties.

the last two are from recent previous trips - anyone know what they are?

these pics are with all lights - including the 10k's that make everything look washed out.

turaki (i think)

THe first one has the structure of the turaki, but it doesnt have the colors of a turaki. It also looks a little like a loripes or perhaps a granulosa. Hard to ID. They are all nice corals, great find.

it is bright aqua colored with yellowish tan at the very bottom. everything gets that pinkish brown hue when i take pics with the 10k lights on.

That first one is Turaki-ish, but Im leaning more towards A. Echinata. A close-up of the axial structure would help, if thats what it is, lucky find and learn to love it, not many people have one.

whatever it is, i already love it ;) what do you mean by axial structure, i can get a descent macro shot.
