another id thread...

well, i got the three book set by vernon and ive been trying to id some of my favorite acros... i cant really find these two or im torn between a few for the id...

i think this one may be an anacropora?!?!

and this... it has staghorn type growth but it dosent look like any staghorns in the book...

 

[reefinmike]

bump!?!?

 

[Serioussnaps]

could the second one be a TORT???

 

[rleechb]

Not sure what the first one is. Second looks to be A. Loisettae.

 

[reefinmike]

the second one dosent look like either a tort or a loisettae...

ive looked through the corals of the world acro section several times and dont see anything that is the same as this... maybe a new specis... lol

i used to have the last one, i forget the name, hard to keep the blue on it, or else it'll turn brown ;p anyway.

The last on looks like A. Paralis to me

 

[reefinmike]

ill check it out in the book when i get home today on the a. paralis

it has been a very easy acro to keep its color for me. it used to be in a high nutrient, low flow tank... and it kept its color

 

[nait002]

I agree with the 2nd one being A. Parilis.

You should post the last one in the "id these three corals" thread in this forum. I still call loisettae, which has tubular scale-like corallites. Very similar coral, however. hell, it could be an insignis.

 

[reefinmike]

actually, i believe that i know what the last one is ... Acropora Plumosa

the parilis is very similar but the corallite structure/abundance is different
