Show us your pics of some of your more unusual "lesser known" corals. Heres some of mine.

Honeycomb Coral
Honey Comb Coral is originally from the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Honey Comb Coral is a peaceful species of coral and should not be placed next to more aggressive species of coral in the aquarium. Keep this coral next to other peaceful species in the aquarium. Honey Comb Coral should be placed in a spot in the aquarium where it can receive high lighting along with medium to strong waterflow. Honey Comb Coral is a bit difficult to care for and should only be kept by the experienced aquarium owner. Like most other coral make sure to supplement this coral with plenty of calcium, strontium and other trace elements.

Lighting: High
Waterflow: Medium-Strong
Placement: Anywhere
Origin: Indo-Pacific

Leptastrea sp. "Crater Coral" - Medium Crater Corals (Leptastrea sp.) are encrusting or dome-shaped colonies similar in appearance to Goniastrea sp. and Montastrea sp. corals. They have small round or polygonal corrallites that do not share their walls with thier neighbors. Color can vary highly in these colonies; purples, browns, greens and reds are not uncommon.

Requirements can vary depending on the color and origin of the coral. Brighter colored colonies generally have higher light requirements while flatter, more encrusting colonies are found in higher water flow. Generally, Crater Corals need moderate to high light and flow. They have low aggressiveness and are very hardy overall.
