One 'mo: Montipora palawanensis. I've got a big hunk of it but can't pronounce it.

Sorry, here's another one I've got: Anacropora puertogalarae.

Yep.

Acropora = Ack-row-poor-a

Actually, nobody pronounces this one right, myself included. Its A-CRAW-POOR-A. The first "A" is pronounced like the first "A" in about. Just think about how you pronounce this word: acropolis. You can hear it here, just ignore the English accent:

LOL...both of these corals are named after places in the Philippines! got pics!?!? i was *this* close to scoring a m. palawenensis frag once.

Montipora palawanensis - "mon-ti-poor-ah pah-la-waan-en-sis"

(Palawan is a beautiful state in the Philippines...AWESOME reefs...snorkeled it once, need to go back and dive the hell out of it!!!)

Anacropora puertogalerae - "an-a-crow-poor-ah poo-erto-gal-er-ay"

[acronautical]

conch is pronounced "konk," and although there is a fairly high probability that I am wrong, I think the "ch" in chaetomorph is similarly pronounced "k" instead of "ch."

 

[dan10342]

[ficklefins]

Mohn-T-por-ah .... sort of. That is a tough one. I still think you pronounce it montipora
