Montastrea perhaps then. I thought collecting hard corals from Florida waters was discouraged.

Thanks everyone, frags for sure...:smile: I was thinking Diploastrea heliopora

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's illegal unless it came from legally farmed liverock or you have a special permit.

Don't call the police just yet...I have a permit. I've had this piece for two months. This piece was in a designated dredge area near the inlet. Three days later and this piece would have been blasted onshore covered in 2000 tons of sand. :cry: I actually saved it from certain doom.

That's a sick piece Brian. Did it color up in your tank or was it that color when you found it?

 

[reef-lover]

Thanks Nick. It colored up in the tank. It was just a bright green 3 polyp stump when I found it.
