    Yep it's a Acropora spathulata aka a Fat Millepora, Australian. Wish me luck.

    Oh and the stylo just for the heck of it.

    looks great! I had an acro crab in my 28g on a acro we had. He did well, however he got pretty big (yes he had black tips) and the sps he was on was fairly small and wasnt really growing. Then one day we look and a small goby swims by the coral and we see these claws come flying out trying to catch the fish. Well it was time for him to go, the colony wasnt big enough to support him anymore

    personally a milli is my favorite over an acro. Plus easier to keep! :)

    LOL, Alex it's actually water on the lense I believe, you think after all I have through I would let bubble algae in, no wayyyyyyyy.

    Mel Millepora is my favorite acropora as well. I have not had any type of crab in my tank for over 1.5 years. Kind of cool to have one again. I almost bought some hermits.

    Thank you John, found it on DD and then some quick searches, the top images was the convincing shot.

    I love Sea Horses but they take a lot care than I have time for or want to.

    If I had not gone BB I would have done black sand.

    Now I would take one of your clams lolol. Almost got a clam too, put their coloration like the corals sucked, hardier to recover IME.

    I am going to do some shopping on line. Tucson on zlich, one 2 closed now we have 2 that have very little to offer color wise.[/QUOTE]

    I hope your wrong about the care thing, so far I find it very easy, about 2-5 minutes of work a day. But you can't have my clams, I'm oddly attached to them. lol But this gal is screaming for me to buy, hoping I don't have too many beers one night and get it. DD has tons of cooler pink maximas right now

    Vivid has some beautiful green Crocea.

    If I get clams again it will be Crocea and maybe a Squmosa. I take that back I like the wide body Tahitian Maxima, greens and pinks.
