Don't laugh, but I've never had a colt coral before. Or ever really paid them any attention.
Figured it was time to see what all the fuss is about, so I put two "colt coral" frags in an online shopping cart and hit go.
One of them is turning out to be the usual monster - pale-ish base, dark-ish polyps, and I swear every time I turn away for 1o minutes it's bigger when I look at it again. (anyone looking for a colt coral mini colony? )
The thing is, the other one looks totally different. It actually looks kinda like a pale branching version of those blue sympodium corals. It's growing at about a normal nepthea/sinularia rate but nothing crazy.
What's the deal? Does the 'colt coral' label get slapped on a bunch of different species for convenience, or is this something else?
