Coral Identification Contest - Sponsored by Nature Dimensions

[Invictus]

I hope everyone is getting excited for this weekend’s upcoming Frag Swap!

Before the festivities begin, we have a rudimentary contest for your entertainment. And, because we have such wonderful sponsors, @Nature Dimensions will be sending the winner a pair of Coral Calipers, and a Fish Feeder ring which can be seen here.

This round will be Acro, Torch, and Zoa specific.

Rules of the Contest:
-Limit 3 attempts per person.
-No editing of your answer. Please be precise the first time.
-Must be the commonly accepted specific name. We are not looking for “torch” “zoa” etc but instead “dragon soul” “GMK” etc. (Apologies in advance to our Sr. members who are jaded towards popular names)

One Winner, which will be announced at the end of the day in which they’ve answered, in hopes of boosting participation.
Contest will officially end Friday at 5pm PST. If no one has successfully guessed 8/8 correct we will award the prize to whoever was the first person to correctly guess the highest amount. So, it's still worth answering even if there is one that you do not know.


Without Further Ado:

1.)

2.)

8.)

Also, the calipers are pretty sweet, especially for photography.

Good luck to all!

I say this is agism and demand a contest about prizm skimmers and Berlin systems.

 

[psidriven]

Bring back power compacts and limestone powered skimmers.

Why don’t I throw in metal halides and sea swirls too. You got your apology

All i got is jf homewrecker for #7... and not too confident about it.

 

[gmdcdvm]

Bring back power compacts and limestone powered skimmers.

And don’t forget reef central.

RULE CHANGE:
- 3 guesses now allowed per person. Feel free to shoot your shot.

Hint: There have been some correct answers already in the thread.

I'm confused, are we supposed to guess one coral with each guess? Or are we trying for all of them? Do we just post in this thread?

Interesting idea. Not sure if those were actual guesses but I’ll give my opinion on what they may be worth for their current sizes. A couple of them may surprise you.. at least one good and one bad.

This could help as a hint too

1. $30
2. $250 (It’s splitting into 6ish heads)
3. $300
4. $10
5. $100 (Slooooowly splitting, could be worth a bit more)
6. $40
7. $100
8. $40
