Is this a Red Planet?

[LoJack]

It showed up pretty browned out, but looked like it was starting to table:



And then I just got home from a 3 week holiday to see some nice new growth and some color change. I just want an opinion from those that have one, does this look like a red planet to you?

Does it have any green tint to the base? Here is a picture of mine and I'm sure its Red Planet.

 

[LoJack]

Yeah there is definitely a slight green tint when you look at it

Did it come from ORA? If not it could be the same species as Red Planet but not be ORAs Red Planets. And it looks like it might be more likely Acropora hyacinthus from the new tips it is growing.

I would say that it does not look like a red planet.

IMO the growth pattern is way off for a Red Planet

The ORA Red Planet can have many types of growth patterns depending on lighting and flow conditions. The ORA Red Planet is and Acropora Anthocercis. You can see the many types of growth patterns here: http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0008

I can say that that growth pattern in the second pic is odd, the first pic looks like a Red Planet

this is my red planet growing out.
