looked at some pics of that, does kinda look like it as well

 

[twon8]

i agree with the gomezi, but a better, closer up pic is needed

 

[craiglanda]

yeah i second the gomezi... Do you have a pic of it under your daytime lights?

 

[flyguy7150]

Is this any better...

 

[acrohead500ppm]

without a close up shot of the corallites its hard to tell if it is gomezi or austera but i am leaning torwards austera, as gomezi usually has a thicker skeleton

 

[flyguy7150]

Actually i think he said it was a Acro Turaki, it doesnt look at all like pics i've seen online though....heres a close up...

 

[flyguy7150]

bump....also i still havent seen its polyps yet, been a week, my mille n slimer are doing great....any clues??

 

[craiglanda]

thats is not a turaki i can tell you that for sure. still hard to say if it is a tortuosa or a gomezi. That last pic makes me shift from what i last said and lean more towards a tortuosa. Either way its a nice coral!!

 

[JackKerouac]

My 2 cents are on A.gomezi

 

[JackKerouac]

ooooops I mean austera well 1 cent on both of them
