Introducing the Pink Menage Acro

[fishypets]

Check out this Abrolhosensis stag a buddy of mine gave me for safe keeping. Since then he lost his mother colony and I'm the only known person with a living frag/colony. I named it the Aquatek Pink Menage in honor of AquaTek in Austin who gave it to me. Colors are pink purple and blue. Check it ou!

nice, i like the name too.

Is it a milli?

Is it a milli?

No it's a Abrolhosensis, the polyp extension looks similar to a milli but it grows like a stag horn.

It doesnt look like a.abrolhosensis to me as well.....nice coral though.

Thanks! Whad does it look like to you?

 

[fishypets]

WoW!!

Yep that's what I say too!

 

[dvanacker]

Honestly if I had to guess....like Buy Baff said, Millepora, although if you saw the mother and you said it was more staghorn like maybe it is a prostrata.

I have a tyree Pink and Blue Prostrata. Maybe we can compare when my frag colors up and develops a growth pattern. I put it in my tank on 8/10/10.

Nice Coral ... look more like pink/blue milli .....

 

[kev apsley]

I say prostrata as well but regardless nice...I see a lot of them coming in from Australia lately

 

[Toadally]

I say milli...

Here's my prostrata

 

[fishypets]

Thanks for the guesses folks but it's not a milli, it grows like a staghorn.

 

[Whisperer]

It is a milli.

+1 for a good looking A. millepora.

Here's my buddy's A. prostrata:

i have seen millis that resembled stags but were definantly millis. Sometimes Acros dont grow exactly the way they are "suposed" to

could be the case here.

colors look pretty familiar as well

could be the case here.

She's having a bad hair day.

very similar to superman mille , ORA rose mille and paletta prostrata in some instances.I agree it is either prostrata or millepora.This is a GARF abro,long main branches with very little side branching and polyp formation much different then a mille or prostrata.Of course we are all guessing and a true ID would require examination of the dead skelton and even then there is limited info available.I have heard borneman talk of a coral DNA data base but I do not believe it has come to fruition yet.Either way a nice coral and a keeper for sure

Hey Dan,

How about a full tank shot. Sorry to hijack!

 

[seminolecpa]

I also agree it doesn't look much like a stag at all to me from your shot. Nice colored coral though.
