it wasn't a problem in my old tank because I had more room and everything was glued down but since I now have a more temporary situation stuff keeps falling and floating and we're on #3 as far as 'corals killed by the echinata' goes.
So while this coral is fantastically beautiful and hardy I think it will be best to find a home for it where it can be glued down away from other corals and no chance of stuff falling close to it.

sorry about the crappy picture but you get the idea of how many gorgeous colors this echinata has.

I would like to trade this for:
Montastrae (that would be super cool! would pay difference)
or
Platygyra
or
Leptastrea
or
Favia

I got it from Stephen in the frag exchange.
I am guessing he got it from joelb.
It's amazing how the thing changes colors depending on environment.
It's very light in my tank with mostly green and bright orange and a bit of purple.
When I got it from the frag exchange it was almost completely purple:
