Let's see those encrusting LPS!

[Wasabiroot]

Lots of love for torches, acans etc... But I can't help loving the easy to care for encrusters! Show me any Leptoseris, Stylocoeniella, Leptastrea, and Psammacora colonies you're proud of!
The rarer the better!
Who knows, maybe we can get this to be an official encrusters show off thread!

Here’s mine:

I don’t quite know which species it is - It looks exactly like that under whites just less luminescent. The purple is more of a maroon red though.
Please ignore my skunk cleaner shrimp trying to photobomb with my pincushion urchin haha.

It almost looks like a favia... Either way it's very pretty! Thanks for sharing! Keep em coming

I would say that is for sure what my mystery coral is - It got sold for £35 ($48.25) as a 1” frag (I think it was sold as just an Encrusting LPS) and Ive just seen the same exact coral for sale online at £70 ($96.51). Thats it’s growth from 1” over about 18 months, possibly 16.

Here’s a litho under the goby. I have another green and red one but no pics. Not the most colorful type but the texture and tentacles are very mesmerizing.

I thought Stylocoeniella and Psammocora are small polyp? Anyhoo I just got this Cyphastrea, but it just went in the tank and isn’t open. Think that counts.

Was told this frag is Leptoseris. Next pic is 1 1/2 years later.

I really love this Jingle Bells Cyphastrea.

Nice! I almost forgot Lithophyllon... Imo underrated. Yeah, I think this is turning into an anything encrusting thread... Which is fine.

 

[Wasabiroot]

I have a feeling we are about to get hit with some fire. Keep em coming! Nice shares.

Here's a lepto had that started to encrust before my pencil urchin devoured it in one day.

Bump! I have 3 lepto I am picking up on Tuesday from Cherry Corals. (and a raja rampage)... Fingers crossed I can keep that thing happy...

I wanted to get a leptastrea... I think my next order will have one or two. I like the combo of fluffy + encrusting. They come in some uncommon color combos too.

Very nice! Do you know what the purple and green encrusting one is in the center of the first picture?
