Coral id, photo to come...

[reefgeek84]

I got a frag from a local guy... i am going to describe and maybe people can post some pics...i will post some later, but do not have to means to load my camera soft ware at work.

It is a low light one, as i have in only under 30w and seems to be doing fine, no loss in color and polyp extension...

Its a single branch, very, very smooth round branches, lime green and brownish under his light, but under mine just brown with a hint of dark green, polyps extend from the end of the branches... does anyone have any idea and pictures of what you might think it is...

Thanks, sorry i am not more help

I have been doing some research and i think it is either

Acropora Rambleri

Acropora multiacuta, which it seems to resemble this one the most, but like i said in his tank it was lime green with brown huhe and in my tank it is brown with dark green huhe.

or
Acropora caroliniana

but none of the pictures i have totaly look like how this thing grows... it grows very long single smooth tube like branches, polyps at the end, no growths sprouting from the center part of the branches just the base and tips and it was not growing in a table like form, it really looks like a tree with out leaves.

Any ideas?????

the branches look like that but it grows more like this

I looked at my pictures and the thing is so small that you can hardly tell what it is and how it grows.
