Is this a Blue/Green Slimer (A.Yongie)?

[Foster]

I ran across this powder blue w/ green coralites stag at my LFS today, and bought it. I believe it is a slimer, and seems to produce slime like the green ones too? Can anyone ID it for me?

My camera doesnt seem to pick up the blue very well....

Here is my blue slimmer, yours looks a little different but maybe?

It does look a little different. The coralites on mine a more tapered, perhaps it is microthalma? It was in a low flow tank under VHO at the LFS, I suppose time will tell.

I think what you have there is closer to A. paralis, A. pectinatus, or A. insignis all three are pretty common in the hobby in the same colors as yours.

Yeah, the corallite structure doesn't seem to match micropthalma to me either. Insignis, paralis, elseyi.

acro loisetta...maybe ??? I don't know though the corallites may protude more than the loisetta.
