[rhino509]

so this past weekend i picked up this from Barrier Reef in Renton,sold as a "chesterfield acro" just wondering if anyone has one,has seen it,and if it fits its name. (sry for crappy pic,im infamous for the crappy pics,lol)

its the one right in the middle (green base w/red tips/polyps)

it very well could be, but frags are hard to identify. also as it grows it will not hold the same characteristic as when it came from the wild. there for makeing it harder even to id.

Yep I'm pretty sure that's it..colors are just off...I'm sure mine looks that green because it is a frag..
