Looking for Elkhorn

Depending on what you are actually looking for, you do know that Elkhorn coral (A. palmata) is an endangered species and illegal to collect or sell in the US right?

No, No I didn't know that. I seen a frag of it on ebay and it really didn't go for that much. I think it was the montipora type though. But either or would be fine with me

yeah its Montipora stellata and looks like a mini version of elkhorn. Pretty common, grows like a weed. I usually have frags of it....
