Echinophyllia echinoporoides

[Raddogz]

Does anyone know if one the echino's from the first frag seminar back in (I think) 2004 was a Echinophyllia echinoporoides?

I call it my Brink of Death or Almost Threw It In The Garbage echino. Apparently it had slipped under a rock/sea of Anthelia (horrible stuff) and bleached a horrible white with orangish pinkish mouths. I was tempted to trash it, but as Mike had pointed out it was worth saving and couldn't be all that dead if it had pinkish/orangish mouths.

It has grown a little, I guess it really needs to be fed.

A few weeks ago

And now ...

With out killing it, 99% of the time, you can not ID echino's/oxys/etc down to the species. Most of us at the time, where leaning to it being an oxy, and thats what it was billed as.
