SPS Picture and name data base

[Raskal311]

Let’s start a database of all SPS corals. Basically post a picture of a coral and their name. I’ll start saving all of the pictures and there name and I’ll start a new thread in a week or two with just the picture and its name. Hopefully if it works out we can start an SPS forum and we can get it stick on the top. Colony picture only guys, no frags. Once this is done I’d like to do the same with high end frags like the purple monster.


Here are a few to start, I'll have a lot more later today but I'd like everyone to help out. There are a lot of corals I dont know the names of and dont have pictures of.

Suharsonoi

Hydnopora

I'd like this to be used mainly for IDing corals so colony picture would be better.
