    Additional Information & Description

    Picked this up at the Ann Arbor swap. I had read about these and seen them online but had never seen a live one. My understanding is that they are quite hardy and easy to frag.

    I have a bright red plate that I believe is the same species but the ridges in the skeleton are shallower. Very cool.

    That sounds really cool. You should post a picture in this thread. Yet another reason I need to get over to Reef Paradise! You should post a pic of it.

    I will try to get a photo today. I have had diaseris in the past. This one is weird. Not 100% on the actual species.

    Here you go. You can see it is developing a fold where it will likely split.
