Bought browned, ID help

jpa0741 · Dec 2, 2008

I bought this coral browned out a while ago. It is really turning into a gem. Any ideas on an ID.

Score!
Was it on a black plastic ORA plug?
Cause it looks like a German Blue Polyped Acro:

It wasn't on an ora plug, but if I remember correct it was traded in from another customer.

looks like A.Nasuta to me and a very nice one at that.

A. Acuelus comes to mind.

After doing some googling I'm leaning towards the A.Nasuta.

nasutas have very distinct cupped shaped coralites.

I would say that it very much looks like a Raspberry Lemonade, which is Acropora nasuta.
