I bought an Indophyllia from the LFS last week and want to know if anybody has any experience with one and any info to share.

sorry, just looks like if it doesn't exist then it's been renamed. Plain ol' google search.

Wow. I guess I should have searched for that one first. I don't think I have ever seen one of those in real life. Veron has it labled as rare. If that is what you have then it is a great find. Post a pic if you can.

yep, I'd think we'd all like to see something other than a skeleton :)

Good article. I actually think the flesh looks more like a Scoly. vitensis than a Cynaria like Sprung thinks. Obviously the skeleton is very different though.

Great article. As I have thought for awhile a lot of scolymias ( or what is sold as scolymias in the trade ) are not scolymias. Many of the most beautfiul corals are in fact Acanthophyllia. Now Sprung takes issue with the current taxonomy of calling Acanthophyllia, a Cynaria and explains why. But properly described, most scolys sold today are really Cynaria. I tend to agree with Sprung that translucent and opaque Cynaria makes a very diverse genus and maybe that should be rethought.
