New sps placement and name

[trueblackpercula]

Hello everyone just picked this up today and I fell in love with it at first glance. It's more green then the picture and has deep purple blue tips. Can you please tell me how close to the light and what acro it is? I have a 400 watt radium and 150 watts of VHO . Rut now I have it about 18 inches from the light.
Thanks

Echinata,maybe fire and ice. Could also be a plana,but likelly echinata
Beautiful!!!
A deep water acro,happiest with blue spectrum light.

Def not a echinata, could be a lorpies but wait for an expert to weigh in

I agree

It look like lokani to me. Nice piece

 

[trueblackpercula]

It maybe lokani but I just can't get a good ID on it.
Thanks

I am thinking echinata, not lokani.

I have the 30k lokani and it's growth is kind of fan like. Or pitch fork shaped sort of hard to explain. Not the whole thing but the majority of it.

no echinata
maybe loripes

Not Acropora lokani, it would have tapered tips. And the structure is just not as uniform.

Definatly not echinata. Structure, coralites, branches none of that is similiar.

I am going with the A. loripes vote. Yours has blunt tips, upright growth, and radial corlallites coming off the axial corallites. Give it indirect moderate light and good water flow.

A. loripes or A. granulosa would be my guesses.
