thank you guys so much.i could'nt find the info i needed.those links were great and now i'm reelly happy with my coral.i bought it for $48 the day it arived at the store and it was already blue.their supposed to get reel colorful in about a month so i can't wait to see how they change.i just hopr they don't sting the hell out of my other corals.

 

Great article. Sounds like a very interesting coral to have.

Last para:

"...As hard as it can be to find an Echinophyllia, the results are well worth it. Few corals can capture the attention of aquarists and non-aquarists the way a colorful Echinophyllia can. Coupled with its undemanding nature, its remarkable coloration makes it a gem the aquarist should make an effort not to overlook..."

Good find!

 

I'm tempted myself!
