looking for ID on this acro

[redspot321]

got a pic of the mother colony? it doesn't look unlike my green slimer.

 

[saltycreefer]

It looks like green slimer to me.

 

[geo*SanAnto]

green slimer.

I googled green slimer. All of the corals shown have at least a hint of green to them. This one does not. I dont have the mother colony. I recieved this frag in a trade 2 years ago, by far the S-l-O-W-E-S-T grower in my tank! It has grown down and encrusted way more than any other coral I have ever seen as well, maybe I have it too close to the T5's?

Heres a pic from 2 years ago, it now just covers the rock this frag is mounted on

Colors should never be a factor in ID'ing unless there is confusion after the coralite evaluation between species. In this case, it looks to def. be a slimer.

 

[redspot321]

OK, thanks guys. Slimer it is.

 

[DaddyJax]

Wait a minute, you are saying that is two years growth?
Slimers are very fast growers. I first looked at it and thought slimer but the coralites are different but it is still too early in the growth to say. I am not sold on the slimer.

Here is mine. It was only a 1" peice just under a year ago and has been fragged more than once.

 

[Kolognekoral]

There are no branches and, due to the soft focus, I don't see any clear axial corallites. It may be a Turbinaria heronensis!

 

[Frick-n-Frags]

the corallites aren't those upturned sort of cups that slimers have, so I question the slimer call also.

yeah, really, not much happening in the axial corallite department, but I think there are a few on new small branches to the left.

when a frag stagnates and doesn't really grow, you can't look too closely at it and expect to see meaningful features.

it looks just like a nub of slimer i gave a friend over a year ago, and like yours it hasn't decided to grow yet for him either.
