    Default Cactus coral (Pavona decussata)

    For those that took a frag of this!

    I can not say 100% this is the correct name but I think it is.
    Here is the mother colony.

    Its Pavona I believe. I have the same red/pink that you have, and a small frag of the Green pavona.

    Very easy to frag, and very hardy coral. Slow grower, atleast for me anyways.

    Justin has a few frags of Merulina. Which reminds, the wife wanted one :P

    That there is a nice coral. Potato chips. Could be a Pavona cactus. Merulina scabricula has the same growth pattern.
