The piece I have is medium-pink with a hint of lavender, orange tones forming around the eyes on one side. Light blue edging, eyes lime-green-ish yellow. It's a standard Echinophyllia with eyes, not the big bumps (though there is a bit of a bump around each mouth, not much) but like the growth form of Mummy Eyes and some Watermelons.

Looks like this one but with a flatter growth form, like a disc (ro maybe that's just grown onto the edge of the rock) but the main difference is no green rim. The eyes are mostly about a half-inch apart, some a little father. Center eye is an inch apart from the others.

I'll try to get a good pic, but until then, any ideas?

Looks A LOT like this as far as the eyes (DEAD-ON) but there is no green in the body, just pink-lavender, and instead of that neon green edging, it has light-blue around the rim.

Either way it is a nice looking species. I'm sure colors like that can fetch a decent dollar per eye if that's what you are looking for. I would love to see a picture of it under some RB Q4's.

Wait'll I get my Phoenix 14,000K. It'll be awesome. Looked great under the T5's at the shop.

Was just wondering so I could cut a frag or two and price them properly, to help balance what I paid for it... :D

Haha, "silly goose". ¡Ganzo! ;) <3

So yeah, I'll get some pics up in like a week or so; it'll take that long to get the bulb. Thing is, the edging is light blue, not green, so not a watermelon, I guess...?

Ooh, I just got a rainbow version of this exact species/subspecies/growth-form today!

Also, I'm gonna need some of these. What do you charge for 'em when/if you do sell em? And dint you say you have Nightmare palys or something?

OMG LOVE THIS ONE! What's it called? It's almost like the inverse of mine, haha... pink and blue but switched. (Though mine has the yellow-green eyes and orange rings around some of them, as mentioned.)
