Acro ID Please

[dirtyBit]

I officially have a mixed reef :bounce2: Just bought my first Acro from vivid. I think it they called it : Aussie Blue Dream Acropora. Just not sure what kind of Acro it is. As this is my first piece I'm sure I'll have questions in the days to come. BTW vivid has a pretty cool new 800g tank they are setting up.

After looking at the Coral Library and seeing how many different Acros there are, it dawned on me that maybe it doesn't matter what specific kind it is. An Acro's an Acro. Is there any difference in the way they should be treated? I don't think so but you never know.

Subulata would be my guess. http://sdmas.com/corals/73.php

Different placement can matter quiet a bit with acros. This species will like full light and good strong water flow.

Thanks Frick. The branches do look similar but I the growth pattern looks a little different. Maybe when I grows out it'll change.

Yes acros that got that mixture of quick tips and smooth stalks usually are in the process of adapting.
