    Frogspawn is a little pale, but starting to color up.

    GALAXEA [STRIKE]Acro [/STRIKE]has some crazy sweepers! Hard to get a shot, and the color is much brighter than in this pic:

    Very blurry, very close up- after looking more, you're right. I ID'd from someone else's pic caption "acropora", but def. looks like Galaxea.

    At 6x3 inches for $20 I'm not complaining.

    While we're on the subject, any good coral ID books out there? Google is failing me ;)

    Very nice pics.

    Is that a fish hiding under the frogspawn?
