So @madweazl generously gave me a piece of a colony.
Frag that fell off (after like a month of growth):
Full Colony:
At first I thought it was Red Planet/A hyacinthus, but it looks less and less so the more I look at it. (I would say "we" since I think @madweazl has come to similar conclusions, but I don't want to speak for him. :D )
Any guesses as to the scientific name (preferred) or trade name? Going through COTW, my guess is A. bifurcata, though cytherea (itself a species complex) and plana are also fairly similar.
