:irked: Once again, Don...it looks like Plerogyra discus. As you already know, Phil narrowed it down to that possibility. Via AIM, I forwarded you picture after picture, link after link and description after description of several possible matches. For a definite identification, contact Eric Borneman via the Marine Depot Forums. :)

Here's an article with more on the species: Do you know where your corals are coming from?

Excerpt: "Plerogyra discus is almost impossible to tell from Nemenzophyllia turbida at a glance. However, the difference is apparent here, with polyps arising from individual skeletal elements. We found this coral intermixed with Nemenzophyllia in the same area."
