FYI Frogspawn is a LPS ( large polyp stony ) for a example monti cap is a SPS ( small polyp stony). I didn't know what a SPS or a LPS was for awhile until I started coming to the meetings. At first I thought they where types of species of coral. Stuff like zenia, devils hand, and zoos are refered to as softies. This place is a good place to learn.

The green toothpick coral is one that John has that looks like a deep water acro that has very thin branches and grows pretty fast. I will look for a picture of mine.

OK, Scott or John... anyone willing to frag a piece off for me? I'll pay/trade, but I want at least 3 or 4 branches (small is OK). I've found that a few branches take-off much better than a single stag.
