you should make all pics the same size, from the same angle that way we can see the progression, when you have to scroll that much and you change angle you cant tell as well

Great picture, great growth and color as well!

However, this coral doesn't look like A.turaki to me. This is what Atlantisaquarium.net and fragfarmer.com call A.exquisita. A.turaki has longer corallites.


Here it is in my tank

Here is my A.turaki

Very nice but I agree doesn't look turaki. I'd be proud to have that

Here is my ugly turaki

I would have to agree. I think it is a gomezi. What do u guys think?

 

[clkwrk]

That was the first thing that came to mind .

DKLE,

Do you happen to know the acro species of the acro beside your a exquisita in your 1st pic?

I just picked one up today, deep forest green w/ light pink polyps

nice acro...

Well the piece was purchase from Phyishy Business as an AquaCultured Acropora Turaki, so that is what i am going by.

i have found that AC corals, sometimes dont represent their wild counterparts, some structural/morphological changes seem to happen.



Thanks for the compliments!

MIne was purchased as an aquacultured turaki also

either way still a very nice piece and I would trade mine for yours anyday

I am blasting the coral with flow and light, about 2/3rd's the way up in my tank, if that helps
