    Lately I'm feeling grateful to be the caretakers of such beautiful animals. All of these corals started out as 1" frags and are now starting become real reef builders. I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd share with other lovers of sps out there.

    Scientific name I don't know. But the common name is Paletta Pink Tip, named after Mike Paletta.

    One of my favorites. It's an Acropora Horrida, I call it Lightning Horrida. Slow grower but beautiful coral.
