I can't help you with the species identification, but once the species is IDed, then you can submit a Classification Request using the form that you can find here: http://www.mbisite.org/ClassReq.aspx

Thanks Jim! I spent until 3:30 AM last night trying to ID this species and no luck so far. There are so many close-looking varieties, and I fear identification without an expert may be difficult.

Hi Reeflover I have these spawn in one of my tanks regularly, Usually following large water changes. I never could pin the species down either.

Could this may be Ophiactis savignyi or perhaps Ophiactis rubropoda?
