Stunning. ETA: what Acro is that? I would prefer scientific name to the, "cutsie" name

It's the Vivids Confetti. I believe it is
Acropora cytherea but could be wrong.
Thanks. I'll try to check my Veron books this weekend as I am curious. Yes, I miss the days of us trying to find the scientific names rather than just slapping a fancy name on corals to justify a huge price tag
I think we should make it a forum rule to stomp anyone who doesn't use the Latin names. It'll be our own version of the Tang Police. Name Police?Thanks.

Of course that would mean I would have to learn a Latin name...

Me too! I am not into the names either. Just tell me the color and growth pattern and I am good.
Unfortunately, an Acropora Tenuis doesn't bring in the big bucks like a Ultra Rare Rainbow Rootie Tootie Fresh and Fruity piece.

Give it some time and A.I. will do it for you. That would actually be pretty cool now that I think about it.
Someone ask A.I. to create an A.I. program for corals.

It is hard to capture the fluorescence of this piece. It glows green from across the room. Nothing crazy, but green is also beautiful.
What I like the most about this piece is the new growth. The new growth has a white body and yellow polyps with green tips.

This is what I enjoy about the hobby. I was going through pictures and this was the same Confetti piece from a year ago during my crash. I snapped this picture during the Cipro treatment while it was sitting in the sump in the garage. Now, a year later, it seems to be very happy. I love to see pieces come back from the dead.
Yessir! I would love a good ol brown cervicornis right about now.....
I would kill for an A. Cervicornis or A. Prolifera. Check these pics out from Pennecamp State Park last year.

Nice! I was down in the keys last June and saw some nice pieces at the aquarium. I would like to get the stuber acro from ORA. It's a nice brown stag with blue tips.
Hadn’t heard of that one until your post. Definitely want one of those.
It's cool and one I have always wanted. It has a cool history and lineage. It was imported from Europe and was the first Acro ever kept in captivity(supposedly). ORA claims to have that same acro which is pretty inpressive just for the lineage.

From ORA site.
The Stuber Stag sold produced at ORA is a direct descendent of the famous Stuber colony, one of the first corals to ever be kept in captivity and one of the oldest ORA corals available. It is a long branching coral with a chocolate brown base and baby blue growth tips. Stuber also has distinctive corallites that are longer and wider spaced than most of our other Stags. This coral grows more vertical then horizontal, so make sure to leave space above.
