Acropora Frag ID

[acroholicreefer]

Can somebody ID this frag for me? I know it is small but hopefully one of the experts can help me out.

Thanks for the help!

This is a decent shot before I fragged it off of the plug

Possibly A. chesterfieldensis

Thanks for the help. I am not sure if it is an acropora chesterfieldensis since those coralites are more rounded and grow in clumps.

I wonder if this is an acropora microclados. This acro appears to plate based on the way it is growing at the base and off of the plug. This description of an acropora microlados is from The Coral Library, "Radial corallites are irregular, mostly tubular and appressed, with sharp edged nariform openings".

The sharp edged nariform openings seem like an accurate description but I could be completely wrong.

At a glance it looks a little like a. nasuta but I really don't know crap about id'ing this stuff. It just looked a bit like german blue polyp frags I have, which I think is a. nasuta. Again I "don't not no nuthin".

I think you are right but others might have a different opinion. This description really seems spot on.

"Axial corallites are tubular. Radial corallites are usually in neat rows and are distinctively nariform in shape"
