Find yourself a browned out milli colony, frag it and put a $75 price tag on it. Call it a Fozzy Bear Acro and you'll be in business. If it starts to get it's original color back, people will just move it around until it stays brown. You can't lose. :rollface:

I think this is Poker Start Monti, not an acro to me.

It looks a lot like a really nicely colored Chesterfieldensis (or at least those corals get labeled as). Its real easy though, don't like it ... don't buy it. There are plenty of people who like rare/unique morphs and if you're not one of them, don't buy it. If a coral is common and there is enough to go around (or when its propped enough like the Ca Tort) - then its cheap. If its rare, than its not. Same as any other hobby or collector.
I like it, so I have one coming on Wednesday. I have a green/purple Chester already so I'm interested to see the difference.

How about this special one I got from Matt?
I love it so much! Even if it is out of water, the branch can still stay purple. The polyps are bright pink with fluorescent green tip. You wont find any "brown" on this one.

Ok then, what would you like to call it? Any suggestions?
Let's see -
Option 1 - call it by the scientific name and people mock you (including experts) that tell you that you IDed it wrong. Plus it sends people to check their refernce books to see what you are talking about.
Option 2 - Call it Purple acro with green highlights. That's not very descriptive and can actually refer to a number of corals like the Chip's, Crayola, some tri-colors.
The names is silly, but it's descriptive and I knew exactly what he/she was referring to.

This is a very interesting thread. I personally have been selling the Increadible Hulk acro for close to 3 years now. I aquired this fast growing acro several years ago from a friend that picked it up in Cali. The original colony did not do well and I wound up selling it to reefermac in rochester NY. Years later I bough some LR from another refer in Rochester (stoli here on RC, aka Allen). It was merely a stump on a rock but quickly grew into a very large colony. See my website for progression pics on my 120 before I went bare bottom. It will be the colony on the top left. I did not discover that this was the original colony brough back from cali and sold to a friend until at least a year after my 120 was setup with the new LR. Since it turned into a colony, I have been selling it as Magyar's "Increadible Hulk" for a mere 16.00 per frag as part of my occasionally offered 6 for 100 threads in the selling forum. I am sure you can search RC to see that this is so. I don't know if the guys that run the sites that sell "Increadible Hulk" for 40 - 100 per 1" frag aquired this from me, generations after someone getting it from me, or just picked another simillar wild species up and decided to name it the same thing by coincedence. My colony has grown both globular and branching and is solid green to green with blue/purple tips.
I simply named it "the Increadible Hulk" because it grows fast (as Dr Banner quickly transformed into the Hulk and its very green. I have no idea what type of acropora it is.
Here are the pics;
I believe that this was taken with a flash. It is an old picture. Maybe a year or two;
This was it in Feb of this year;
This is my new colony in my 120 after I went BB;
A frontal shot;
This is the left over colony in my frag system;

I think the confusion is just that you happened to use the same name for a coral as some other people did. You probably had it first though. Yours is definately a very green acro and name is fitting. I'm not actually sure why they call the other one the Incredible Hulk acro but that one is not supposed to be green or green with blue tips. In fact is is the reverse.

Lol, sentiments were the same three and a half years ago: "We've got to stop naming these things" lol. It's gotten a little further since then. That first picture is awesome though, I'd like to see some pics.
