Here’s a few more. Micros and Bowers

 

[ieatbugman]

I have never seen another goniopora like this one, anyone know what it is?

 

[moosevandyke]

Here is a few of my favorites right now. Unknown Sbb acro, Wwc bounce chalice, acantho, tusi rainbow granny

 

[thresher]

Some Chalice. Shrank to half the size of a dime during my illness but somehow it survived. After the tank was given some love it decided to grow. Now the size of a golf ball. It's a survivor.

What about a garden?

 

[Kmst80]

Looks like a Bernardpora. They are often called Micro-Gonis

[SauceyReef]

Nice SPS! Which one are you showing - the middle acros with yellow and green? Those are my favorite.

 

[Kweezy12]

I can’t pick just one so I’ll put up my 3 largest Gonis

Monsters!

 

[Townes_Van_Camp]

Is hydnophora rare or boring? I hardly ever see it in anyone's tank.

 

[steveschuerger]

Got back a a favorite , a Care Bear Goni . And another bright Goni , a highlighter

I think they’re pretty neat. But no room in the inn at the moment

No, those are not Bernardpora. All of what we call Bernardpora in the hobby are incorrectly identified as such, which can be traced back to Jake Adam's misIDing "Micro Gonis" as Bernardpora. True Bernardpora look like this:

[encrustingacro]

I have (what I think is) an Astraeosmilia tumida from Fiji in my tank. I'll take photos when I get home.

Here is it in my tank:

This is  supposedly the same colony at my LFS, a few months before I bought it

You don't hear those talked about often!

Got it! Thank you for the clarification. What is a "Micro Goni" if not a bernardopora?

some other Goniopora species. I have seen them IDed as G. minor, but comparing their skeleton (from CotW) with the skeleton of a piece that died in my tank, that is not it. I remember Joe Rowlett identified a similar phenotype as G. cf gracilis.
