Acro id

[greg1786]

I got this at a frag swap and was told acropora tenius. Up until yday i agreed but recently had someone tell me its not. What do you think? Heres a month ago which was three weeks in my system, basically all blue

. Heres a pic from a few days ago, it has developed a good bit of yellow on it

. Sry they are blurry i just learned how to use a real digital camera, quite a bit different from my cell phone lol. Thanks guys

The first picture is actually kinda cool. It is focused enough and close ups always help with IDs, but there is not enough to go by on the Acro to tell what it could be. It's just a tip of a branch.

IMO A. tenius is over used for an ID on blue Acroporas. So my gut wants to dispute that it is A. tenius but I could not say at this point. The two characteristics that I see that match A. tenius would be " Axial corallites are long and tubular. Radial corallites are arranged in a neat rosette and have slightly flaring lips. " So it is possible, but too early to say. http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0074/view#

Ok thanks for the help, the frag isnt much bigger than what ive shown in the pic maybe another 1/2" is cut out. When it grows some more and has some descent size to it ill repost it for you. I appreciate your help tho!
