I bought a bright color fiji acropora pack back in feb (Order Number: A2538697 if that helps any). I really didn't care until now but I figured I better start keeping records of the type of acropora I collect. Could you help me ID these based on pics/records

specimen one
when I got it
100gallonyellowacropora1.jpg

now (looks almost completely green from top down now)

specimen two
when I got it
100gallontanacroporatan1.jpg

a month ago(you cant see it but just after this pic was taken the base, tips and polyps all turned neon green)

and specimen three

and now (cant see it well but the tips and base have turned teal blue)

all three now top down

any help would be appreciated. also I must say I was initially kind of disappointed about the "brightly colored" as none were. I had no idea these things would color up. the 1rst had no green, the 2nd no neon green and the 3rd no blue. This is more like what I expected!.

stanlalee,

Thank you for your patience while we obtained the information regarding the corals you have pictured. Here are the results:
1. Acropora valida
2. Acropora cytherea
3. Acropora convexa

Thank you for showing how beautifully your corals have grown and the great coloration they have achieved after fully acclimating to your tank.

If we can further assist you, please contact us.
