BigBoy69s look more like A. navini. than A. turaki, which has longer coralites.

Steve,
I think I have the same maricultured coral. Literally identical to mine, except mine was a bit lighter in colour and has since darkened to that turqouise-green effect. I had put it down as A. lokani, as the corallites are too big and heavy for A. turaki, which should be a bit more delicate. As frags, the two can look literally identical in fotos. I have one frag that I thought was a fine A. turaki, but it is tableing and is most likely A. jacquelinae!
The more I see of this group, the clearer it becomes that the growth form is paramount in IDing. As frags, they can be very similar. Nice when one has a shot of the mother colony!
