need some acro id's

[Mangodude]

getting these from a friend and he's not real sure on names

pics taken under 14k halides, i'll let you know the color adjustments if needed



1. The new growth is a light cyan/teal color, there is only a small bit in the pic as he had a alk overdose that halted growth for a while. otherwise color is pretty accurate though



2. color is pretty accurate, pic is a bit overexposed but the color is just more intense of what you see.

3. I couldnt capture the green right, but this piece really is pretty green in person. not like slimer green, but it def has a green color to it. The tips are the pink/purple as seen in the pic and supposedly color up more but again due to alk they lost some color.

The first might be A. bifurcata.

The second is tough because there is nothing distinct about the Acro. Can't ID be the color. Maybe A. formosa.

Just by going by the tips and that it is tabling maybe A. plana for three.

The forth could be one of the many Acropora species that gets jumbled in to A. tenius. Others could be, cerealis if it tables, subulata will grow new branchlets as it grows out.

Either a very loose growing millepora or prostrata.

Then the last is tough because it looks like it is swithing up it's growth pattern towards the tips. Maybe selago judging by the new growth?

Thanks for the help Jason!

Plana is def spot on, as well as bifurcata I think. Its still so hard to tell with the others..

oh, number 6 he thought was a "Joe the coral"


anyone recognize any of these by common name?

 

[Frick]

If the seller is sure it came from the same colony as ORAs Joe The Coral then i would agree #6 does look like it. IMO i would only carry the name if they are certain of the linage. If it is a look-a-like i feel it is more appropriate to find the species name. But that is my quick bit on show names.

Thank you Frick!

I think number 5 may be a watermelon milli, anyone think this is true?
