There seems to be a lot of aquacultured mini colonies selling at LFS lately. I bought 2 from Max Reef and 2 from Manhattan aquariums but like you, they have no names or ID. Some of these colonies are high grade as well. After you get yours ID'ed i would like mine to be ID'ed too haha. Good luck! and Nice Corals!!

Yes, I went to Maximum Reef when they got their shipment this Sunday. I purchased all my stuff from them. What did you get? Pictures???

Hey these are the two corals I got from Max Reef

 

[BKNYx43]

How much did you pay for yours? I picked up those 2 for $25 each cuz they were browning out. And now.... their colors are coming back! =)

Also here are the 2 that I got from Manhattan Aquariums

Very nice! I paid about $35 for the smaller colonies and $85 for the larger.

I definitely agree so :backtotop Does anyone know what these corals are called?

Like mentioned above they are simply aqua cultured corals and a lot of them are very nice. Some are mili's, and some are regular acros.

They are the same thing as "named" corals without the name. People give corals these names to make money. I'm not sure what else anyone could tell you because there's no way for someone to trace them back to a "given" name.

If you want ill dub them, just let me know.

I would actually like to get a specific latin names or genus based on the corals structure. I know their used to be a website that helped with stuff like that.
