Today I spent all day at Tampa and getting new animals from them acclimated.

Sunday morning through Tuesday night. Not long enough.

As with any SPS ID, this is a long shot, but A.cerealis?

Wow. Let us know when it is big enough to frag, 'mkay?

I may be way off, but my first thought when I saw this was "A.horrida". Looks quite a lot like the pictures in Veron.

Thanks for the ideas, but I can say it isn't horrida. I know because its sitting next to some horrida.

I still think valida!
