His corals grow literally right out of the water... when he kills his return pump they are about an inch exposed. He makes quite a few dollars fragging a few of them...

Well Chris can tell you. The long branching ones more in the middle and the right called green slimer, bali green slimer, (I call it a yellow slimer, as it's more yellow), and are an Acropora yongei. The yellow more towards the left is a Montipora digitata. They are an SPS.

Hello Vinnie!
Is anyone else amused at the reefzilla thread that has near 75000 views and not quite 300 posts? That's pretty incredible.

When disturbed or taken out of the water, they excrete pretty excessive amounts of snot (compared to other corals). I think its a defensive mechanism for low tides, when they may become exposed to air.
I've had mine under T5s for a long time, and it's grown about 3-4 inches in a year.

I think this is Green Slimer too, but no one's confirmed that for me. It really slimes if you touch it. I've never been able to find a picture online that shows Green Slimer with this much polyp extension though.
