How does this SPS look?

[TripleJ21]

Hey everyone, I have a mixed reef, but I'm fairly new to the SPS realm of this hobby. So I was just wondering how this coral looked. I'm going to be moving it up to the top of my tank today and glue it, I've been acclimating it to my light for awhile now.

Thanks for your input!

did it come with a plug or just bare root? it looks nice for now. what kind of lighting do you have? it's its something intense make sure you acclimate it slowly

Good color but no polyp extention. I would put it half way up till it gets used to your tank and u see polyps extending.

yea I second that. Wait for polyp extension before you move it to the top.

Alright thanks everyone! I have two Panoramic Ecoxotic 48" LEDs. They are rated with a somewhat poor PAR rating but I have two anemones and a couple other SPS growing well, along with clams ad many other corals. Will the polyps extend as the coral gets used to my tank or is there anything I could do to help it?

Also to answer your question Steven, I have a family friend that I buy corals from that lives 5 minutes from me, and so it was just fragged as I bought it, and came into my tank bare. Right now It is positioned in my life rock where it won't topple with the current.

Is it a acropora tortusa?

Looks like a tenuis to me.

Seeing as this is becoming an ID thread... here's my shot in the dark. Acropora Loisettae.

No one will know until it grows out some.
