    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Well this is not the first time I have asked, and I never got an answer before. I even looked it up. I see it all over and I know names are kinda of silly but I am curious.

    I cant see the axial coralites close enough to determine for sure... but the polyp extension/ form makes me lean towards a borealis.

    On joe the coral the coralites are more "sharp" at the edges (very similar to that of a tenuis). and the polyps come to a thin point at the tips.
    On the borealis the coralites are not as profound and are more round. Also the polyps have really good extension but are stubby and thicker looking.
