New ORA Marshall Island Acro!!

[theronsta]

Okay so I did an order for the pet store I do all the salt stuff at and on ORA's order list they had in their Marshall Islands section a coral labeled as "ACROPORA ASST"
I called and the salesman I talked to said they havent come up with a name yet..anyone else have one of these?
I bought it for my collection

anyone wanna come up with some names?

 

[j-dizzle]

ahhhh! very nice!

 

[j-dizzle]

green goblin? Is this name taken?

 

[theronsta]

haha not sure! I'll try to get some better pics. It seems to be somewhat brittle as the encrusting portion came of when I was epoxying it to the rock :/ so now I can see how quick it encrusts lol

 

[acroholicreefer]

Nice find. I bet it will end up a different color than green. LMAO

Frogskin?

 

[theronsta]

Brown Planet? JK! Hope it stays nice & green for ya! There's some others out there called Metallic Green Acro that kind of look like it (?).

 

[theronsta]

yup thats what it is..its from their marshall island sector.

and for ten bucks who knows.. you and I might have a (for now) rare aquacultured acro!
how big is yours?

 

[silor]

Pretty small I'll take a pic for ya I had alk issue a few months ago and it STNed a bit but is coming back now

 

[theronsta]

ok thanks bro. does the new growth seem to be white?

 

[silor]

Here is mine small small

 

[silor]

As you can see no new growth but the brown is turning green again
Most of my acros new growth is white

 

[theronsta]

Looks very close. Can you tell what new growth looks like? I've only had mine for a week so I am still waiting for it to start doin anything

 

[silor]

It will take a little while usually a week to 3 weeks till any growth starts

 

[theronsta]

Yup I know. I have lots of Sps x)

Wow, what a shocker, another green acro from ORA :thumbdown
I will wait to see what this coral looks like once it starts to grow out. Ora needs to step up their game. Besides Pearlberry, Red Planet, Hawkins, and Bellina; they seem to be releasing the same colors.

@Silor- The coral you have pictured looks nothing like the OP's pic. Nice coral though.
