[SERVO]

2=Turaki?
3=Nasula
6=Tenuis

 

[Kolognekoral]

7 A. abrotanoides
6 A. tenuis
5 not an Acropora. Interesting.
4 A. multiacuta ?
3 A. desalwii ?
2 A. paniculata?
1 A. horrida

They are all a bit too small to name with any certainty, except 1 and 7, which are pretty certain.

i'm wondering if #5 is a kind of monitpora.

can't seem to find that on the site...there are only about 4 monti pics and they are all listed as digi's, nothing specific. do you have a link?

 

[Kolognekoral]

I believe the species meant are M. spongiosa or M. spongodes. The later is an encrusting species with projecting ridges, the first is branched and contorted.

The ripply appearance in #5 reminds me a little of M. confusa, but the overall growth form of yours is more branched.

Here's one in my tank:

I've also had a spongodes, and it was a little smoother on the surface.

i think we have a winner!
