I haven’t been provided a name.

Is that an alveopora ?

<edit> looked it up, I’m not sure if it’s the same but it’s close! Need to see in person. Didn’t come from TSA but a lot of vendors acquire and resell stuff branded from other vendors
Just following up, it’s not bangarang.

It’s called BSA Game Over Alveopora

My frag still has to color up a bit but it’s doing well

I have a number of prized corals - a crazy multicolored Trachy, various beautiful rare Hammers/Frammers, and a UC Amazeballs Goni but I think my most prized coral is the Tyree Pink Tip Elegance. In my opinion, this is the ultimate collector's coral out there.
Right up my ally.

Cynarina?
Indophylia.
I bought it in the "to clear" section of a not that great LFS & it was unnamed.
I assumed cynarina to start but a few meat coral obsessives I spoke to told me it was an info.
It's just been named "the alien" by my wife & it stuck :face-with-tears-of-joy:

It’s one or the other and some say they are two names for the same thing lol

I keep a lot of Cynarina and it reminds me of them, but indophyllia is extremely similar.

I love Gonis and Euphyllia. Maybe too much

First is a new hologram hammer I got 2 weeks ago. The large red goni is from Feb ‘23 as two small frags. Green tip I got as two smallish frags last March and the pink Goni is from same sale as hologram. And last a green monti that was originally 2 smallish frags that I got last year as well.

Hello,
Kind greetings from Germany!
This is my first post here but I was following for quite some time now.
These are some awesome corals here!
I also wanted to share my absolute favorite piece. It‘s an acanthastrea bowerbanki and it had much less color when I got it.
I‘m excited to see how it develops in the future.

Perty!

I wish I could keep these sorts of acans in our big tank. They only last a few minutes before the Copperband finds them...

Its the one coral she will eat with gusto. the more colorful, the more tasty
