ID Please. Purple Dragon Eye?

[ggrillo]

Picked this up last week at the LFS but didn't have a name. I think it may be a purple dragon eye. Can someone confirm? Also if you could ad a pic of a larger colony of what you think it is that'd be great. I'd like to see the growth pattern of it. The base is a light purple/blue with neon green polyps.

I have never heard of Purple Dragon Eye. If it didn't come with the show name, then you can't really be sure that this is the same one as the real Purple Dragon Eye. I would try to at least find the species name before tossing some misleading show name on there. There are hundreds of Acros that can be purple with green polyps.

It looks like Acropora subglabra for now. Too small to say for sure.

Did the seller give you any info on it?

Thanks for the input. And no my LFS usually has a couple frag tanks where everything is $15-20. There sps frags always see to be hardy (I've never had one die from them). However they don't label them. Its kind of like a mystery box for me. I've gotten several small browned out frags from them at a good price that color up and grow like weeds. I just wanted to know if anyone could tell what this one was.

nice acro !
but not a "dragon" (ie carduus, waliindi...)
theses have very delicate/thin branches and smooth skin...
