Another Coral ID

[jeff_mcphail]

I am pretty sure this is some type of echinophyllia chalice but not positive. the color is a pretty random pattern of metallic orange, green and a deep red. I really wish I had a better camera.

I shopped this second pic just a wee bit to try and show how bold the colors are in person.

where did you get that?

 

[fish scales2]

Acan Echinata "Orange Crush" if I am not mistaken.

yup...+1

I do not own any acans that I know of but don't they have individually seperated heads? This piece grows just like my other two chalices but with no repeating pattern like those acans.

There are different types of acans, your thinking of the acan lord. The acan Echinata looks like a favia/chalice but if you look at the coralite bone structure you'll see it's an acan. The rim of the coralite under the tissue is all jagged like rows of sharks teeth.

can i have it.

sweet! I searched Rainbow Acan and found this link. The fourth pic down is spot on.
