    If you need better pictures I can try and get another. This is just out of the shipment bag so when I get home this evening I will take another pic.

    Thanks.

    It appears to be closed, not acclimated yet, so it is difficult to tell right now.

    I looks like it might have some small polyps... Is it calcerous or soft

    GSP? Mine came with a light pink matt wth deep purple underneath. Looks like what you have there. Try googling briarium sp pics.

    The polyps are pick and flower shaped so i'm pretty sure it's not GSP. I also googled the pics and it isn't anything like that.

    Thanks though.

    My briarium had pink flowers. Kind of like this: [​IMG] but a bit more stubby and more pink.
