the seller did not mention its name, but here we call this kind of caral semi deepwater, and needs meduim-low light and meduim current. But i'm just not sure about the colour of the tips and its name in latin

 

[ricardoz]

Most likely yes.

Agree, loripes.

Agree, loripes.

Yup, Loripes, colour will depend on tank perams. New growth is usually lighter in colour. @ Whisperer, love your sig, painfully true!
