    Anyone interested?

    Hi y'all! I was recently browsing online on some livestock websites, and I came to the realization that almost none of the listings for acropora had scientific names! This bugs me a bit, because not many people take the time to list the species names, which may be important in the future...

    Soft Coral ID

    I was at the LFS today and I asked what this soft coral was and the kid was not 100% sure he just said it was a leather he believed. Anyone know more specifically what the coral is? Generally I wouldn't buy something without knowing but being $20 and a soft coral I thought I was safe.

    Is this bryopsis?

    Green algae type thing growing on rock work. Quite tough and stuck into rocks. Heard bryopsis can be a pain but responds well to fluconazole. Just wanted second opinion before I start dosing. Thanks
