Blue Tort??

[ClownReef®]

Hey guys..and SPS I.D gurus..LOL..

I have this coral..Its VERY blue..and was wondering..is it a blue tort??..Sorry for the crappy pic..im still figuring my camera out....Thanks!

It looks like an A. Gomezi. Try taking a pic by changing your white balance so the colors look normal under actinic lighting. This will help with the I.D.

Must be 20K's

it looks like a a. hoeksemaki, my gomezi looks nothing like that.

 

[Don Berry]

Not sure on the id, but it doesn't look like my Gomezi or my Hoeki.

 

[TexasTodd]

Deigo, that you?

Can't tell from the crappy pic. Try using your flash maybe.

Or, better yet, get Brian over there!

Hey Todd!!!..Yeah, its me!

TOMU- Thanks man, i figured out how to change the white balance...
Here is a better pic (sorry, just did a waterchange..so, everything is a bit cloudy..)

Also..anybody got a clue what this is??..(sorry, dont wanna abuse the knowledge..)

 

[TexasTodd]

My "guess" is 1. A. Hoek 2. A. Valida

OOOh, a Hoeksemaki...really???

 

[ClownReef®]

Bump?

 

[ClownReef®]

Ok, last bump..lol

 

[IMPERATORFAN]

Hoek or maybe formosa?

 

[ClownReef®]

Well, we ll leave it as a hoek.

It's coralite structure/pattern(upside down nose) makes it looks like a nasuta. It's growth pattern doesn't looks like A. nasute but it's still kind of young so it's hard to tell.

That post was for the first one.

I'd guess Acropora Formosa for the first one:

And Acropora Austera for the second:

Just my best guess....

 

[ClownReef®]

Still too unclear..but thank you all for your help

 

[ReeferMedic]

My Miagi Tort looks very similiar to your pic.

 

[ClownReef®]

Hey Reefer- would you happen to have a pic?

 

[ReeferMedic]

I'll see if I can dig one up when I get home for ya.
