Need a pic of a Fancy Acropora to compare

[roberto_lopes]

I have recently added this acro to my livestock. This was sold to me as a Fancy Acro but I cannot found any pictures of how a fancy acro should be in terms of color.

Here is mine:

Here is a macro

So, anyone can help ?

Secale. The green polyps are right. The rest should be more purple.

+1 A. secale. Many LFS will call any coral with some color fancy coral. This was especially popular in the early 90's when most acros on the market were brown. If you were lucky to find anything with color it was called fancy.

By the looks of the surrounding acros in your tank I am assuming you know what a "fancy acro" means and your being sarcastic toward the store for putting a very general name on the acro.

I am not saying it is for certain Secale, but the growth and coralites give me my best guess. I have seen secale sp. with green polyps many times.

HUmm yes, ok, I'll assume that's a secale.

Thanks Frick.
