    just got this guy for $10 at the recent frag swap in Milwaukee. Not sure what the heck it is. Looks like some sort of super fatty extra flourescent birdsnest. Any ideas?

    K+ Ultimate Warrior! Thats what the guy sold it to me as, I couldn't remember the name for the life of me! Also looks very similar to the green cats paw. I have a very bright green birdsnest and they do look similar but side by side they are 2 very different corals. Green Stylophora branches alot differently and the color is much more amazing than the Green BN. Thanks 3reef.

    Yeah, it is fairly common, but most go with the pink stylos because the greens look so much like a Green BN.


    I didn't see any pink stylos at the swap, did you?

    Also, I have your monitor that you lent WRS at my house. We will have to remember to get you that at the BBQ on Saturday.
