Acro´s ID

[Joao Monteiro]

Hi there,

I need some help to ID these Acros. Thanks in advance

1. Believe to be a A. Millepora

2. A. cerealis ?? (came from a tank being dismatled. Owner didn´t care much anymore)

3. A. Formosa ?? (similar case. Half of it was in a hole, with a part totaly white. I split it not to take risks. Some of the white branches are recovering)

I would appreciate if you could answer with the latin names (Sorry, but I´m not too familiar with the English ones)

Finally, just to give you an idea, here´s my 210G (mixed reef) tank, set up in April, upgraded from a 55G.

Post in here the guy from reefermadness has helped a lot of people with iding of corals. Also look at some of the older pages to see if it has been ided already.

you need a better pic for the second one, not that pe isn't nice, just hard to make out corallites

Take a pic after blowing the coral with a baster. Should get a better idea on #2.

Tks for your replies.
I´ll try to take a closer picture of #2 this weekend

by the way, baster = powerhead ?

baster, perhaps powerhead would be too strong. Touch even.
