It is a Goniopora sp. I wouldn't say for sure whether its a G.stokesi though.Species identifaction often requires a detailed examinatio of the skeleton.

Taxonomy in Corallimorhs is very difficult.There are few genera that can be positively ID'd from a picture.I would agree that this genus is probably Discosoma.However,soecies identification is best...

It is Stylophora pistillata.Here's a pic of the mother colony

The first clutch of eggs hatched on the 7th,that morning as expected.3 days later,I assume it was either late Sat. evening or early Sun morning,the female has laid another clutch of eggs.So,It looks...

Those are one of my favorite "SPS" corals.Very hardy,adaptable to a wide range of lighting and current.Here's a pic of a frag i got off of the LFS colony.In the pic,the frag is dispaying an elongated...

The most common species of Lobophyllia is hemprechii.That species has a phaceloid(branching) skeleton but usually the large,meaty polyp hides it.Even the boulder type growth forms of this species has...

Bobby,about a yra ago i bought a 6polyped Lobophyllia sp. that was in terrible condition.4 of the 6 polyps were receded so bad you could just barely see the red tissue.The other 2 were not much ...

Here's a pic of the big mama.She's at least 3x the size of the little male in the

At this time,I do not but once clowns start to spawn,they generally will produce a clutch every 2wks like clockwork.Since there are no other fish in this tank,they wont be preyed upon so i might get...
