Wow, is that an abro colony?!

Wow, is that an abro colony?!

I would guess that it is actually an A. robusta. Considered a similar species to abrontanoides, this sp. "is readily distinguished by the presence of thick encrusting bases".(Veron)
The encrusting center of the colony coupled with the "thinner prostrate branches with upturned ends at the periphery" also leads me to point to robusta. (Veron)

Here is one that has been in my tank for two months now.

This is the same coral I have.

I think it's acropora tenuis

Here are some others:

Acro ID?

Acro Crab!

Neon Green Slimer - Great green fluorescent protein

Birdsnest up close

Pokerstars Montipora

Poscillopora Damicornis - nice cyan fluorescent protein

They look like twins! I guess they are supposed to, but it's pretty cool to see them look so similar. :jester:

I'm probably cheating being close to the GBR and knowing a few collectors, but screw it. Here's some of mine

They've got more colour since going into the tank, some of them had paled/browned out a little being in a minder tank while mine was getting ready.
