[Schlesien]

Can you guys id the following sps corals please??

 

[drake66]

#3 is an A. Insignis, if i'm not mistaken.

 

[Schlesien]

Thanks drake66. I was told that #7 and #8 are milliporas. Can someone confirm that?

 

[Don Berry]

They don't look like Milleporas to me.

 

[wentreefgirl]

#4 looks like milli, #8 green slimer, #6 perhaps monti digi?????.

 

[wentreefgirl]

#9 a. austera?

#5 may be a mille. #6 is a tenius #2 a valida

 

[Schlesien]

Thank you guys! It's very appreciated. Anyone knows the other names?

 

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

#8, is definately a green slimer, (ACROPORA YONGEI)

 

[Schlesien]

Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it! So far these has been identified:

#1 -
#2 - A. Valida
#3 - A. Insignis
#4 - A. Millepora
#5 -
#6 - A. Tenius
#7 -
#8 - A. Yongei
#9 - A. Austera

One of you guys said that #5 was a milli, however mother colony was more like a table acro than a branching one. Anyone has anything to add?
TIA

 

[reptoreef]

they can grow in a table like pattern as well as branching.

#4 looks like the only potential mille. Keep in mind the only real way to tell is by the skeleton.

 

[reptoreef]

is it possible that #5 is samoensis?

 

[GMFett]

this is a frivilous game. unless a coral is fraged allowed to die and then the skeleton is examined in a lab it is quite hard to tell on most corals. some are inmistakable i agree. but most are not as easy as look and tell.

Thanks for reply. That's interesting. I didn't know that this is that hard.
I mean for me they look almost the same, for example the first three acros although they have different colour, I tried to match them with the ones that I saw on the net but it wasn't any better. When I bought #7 & #8, I was told that they are millis, and I believed they are even thou I couldn't match them with any other milliporas I found. Well, once you guys post a name, I use a search engine than I see the similarities

I love this hobby, you are constatnly learning new things!

Thanks again to everone that cleard this up! :thumbsup:
