edit: It didnt work again
Why do i need to do that, i can see it on my photobucket page, and even when im not logged in as me. so that means the public can see my pages too. so why doesnt the website address copy, past so you can click on it and it takes you to my page?

try uploading it to your photobucket again because the link is obviously bad

I'll try to get a better picture of my Rainbow tonight. This photo is of hte Rainbow right after I got it, and the polyps hadn't come out all the way yet. The color has improved dramatically since this photo.

my main objective with this posting is to see what other types of corals are encrusting. Like star polyps are a good example. Im talking about the soft type corals. I know Monitporas are hard encrusting, but im looking for the types that can encrust over almost anything, such as star polyps, and whats in my picture. (dont know the name)

I think we got the idea in the first pic......geesh lol
Encrusting gorgorians, I have a encrusting coral of some sort that I have not been able to identify yet, it has a red base with green polyps and is very slow growing. There is also skin polyps.

Im looking to trade with anyone who has these corals, i want to make it encrust a dead gorgonian,
There are corals that are throught to be a gorgonian, because they are attatched to a gorgonian skeleton, but they arent, and are simply coral that like to encrust dead gorgonian skeletons.
Perhaps this is what you mean by encrusting gorgonian

I have seen the encrusting gorgorian Mary has and it is definately a purple gorgorian. pretty cool looking really.its polyps looks identical to the branching stuff we have.

But a gorgonian has a skeleton, so how could it just encrust, and not make a branching skeleton like normal ones.
if there is a gorgonian skeleton in front of this encrusting coral, of course its going to grow up it, and soon it looks as if it grows with branches. but it really just ENCRUSTED it
Dare i ask: post a picture?

here is a part of the article~
The structure of a gorgonian colony varies. The suborder holaxonia skeletons are formed from a flexible, horny substance called gorgonin. The suborder scleraxonia variety of gorgonians are supported by a skeleton of tightly group calcareous spicules. There are also species which encrust like coral.[2] Most of holaxonia and sclerazonia, however, do not attach themselves to a hard substrate. Instead, they anchor themselves in mud or sand.
