I made a mistake with the LPS votes...

Time to come clean...



Anyway I just realized that I made a mistake with the LPS vote events. during the first round I forgot to include Oulophyllia, (which at the time i was unaware that it existed) and now that I realized I'm well into round 3. So I need your help, should I slip it into round 4, against acans and Acanthastrea, or should we forget about this LPS and move on?

Wait, so should I or should I not?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in person. I don’t think I would have an opinion. I’d say leave it out?

I don’t think I’ve seen one in person either; they’re probably an uncommon export. the Oulophyllia I’ve seen online are only wild colonies.
Based on genetic data, Oulophyllia shares a clade with Caulastrea, Astraeosmilia, Pectinia, and Mycedium.

If I do include them I was thinking of putting then against chalice. Anyway, if all goes right then I'm picking up one this week!

I think you should have split up chalices into the 4 genera (or 5/6, but Echinomorpha are rarely exported and Paraechinopora are not exported). Some chalice genera are better than others.

Paraechinophyllia*

By the way, any care tips for Oulophyllia? A few years back my LFS had a colony, they say its very similar to platygyra and favia carewise, though do you know anything about aggression? Will it put out sweepers? Can i put it close to the moseleya that I'm also picking up soon?

Not sure about aggression; maybe watch it for a few days to see if any sweepers come out.
