Deep Water Picture Thread!

This is what it looked like when I got it back in January.

It could be A. speciosa.

That last pic looks more jaq'ish (when you first got it). The after pic with growth in your tank looks like something else. I have something very similar in my tank but can't id it

Any new pics since Febuary?

Hello

I think, the second is a jacquelineae!?

By the way, can everyone ID the first one please!

 

[reefaholic101]

Wow......so many great pics....Thanks for posting

 

[FragGuy]

The first looks like A. turaki
The second might be A. caroliniana

Hi FragGuy

Thank you, it really looks like a turaki.

But im almost shure, the other is a jacquelineae.

Awesome pics. I actually just got a jacq today and will get pics as soon as it gets out of dip and settling in the tankl. Lets keep em coming...

Volker,

Could very well be. When you get to similar looking corals it's a tough call. Even the experts have to go to skeletal comparisons and even that is not always 100% sure.

I'm not an expert in coral id but I have Jacquelineae and it's much thinner branced and blunter on the tips. Mine matches the coral skeleton on the AIMS sight better than the live coral images for the same coral though.

I also have a coral that looks very much like yours there and it was sold as A. caroliniana.

But who knows.

 

[jjackson]

anyone have an idea on mine?

 

[FragGuy]

JJackson,

Possibly A. navini
