sweet stuff all of it.

As far as an ID.......hard to be sure from that pic.....but my first guess would be a pavona...second guess would be a Psammacora....but I doubt its the second. I only say that as i used to have one about that color

the second to last pic is AWESOME

I agree with fly guy on Pavona. Nice corals and pics!

I say psammacora, his piece doesn't have the little holes/mouths all over like pavona does.

I think now it was sold to me as a psammacora I just coudn't think what it was.Anyways I really like it.Can anyone recondmend a good book to learn all real names of corals?

I second corals of the world.
Julian's book is good when you already know most of the corals and are just doing a quick double check.
