My black Leopard wrasse decided to jump out of the aquarium yesterday, so I found it dried out on the floor. Stupid fish:uhoh2:

Here's some more pictures of some of the frags in my tank.

This Acropora is starting to color out nicely. Someone who might know ID on this?

Cyphastrea Decadium frag.

Unknown Acropora frag. May be A. Turaki?

Unknown Acropora frag.

This is a very small frag from an Acropora Solitaryensis.

Unknown Acropora frag.

The Monti to the left is a Montipora Danae and the one to the right is Montipora Mollis.

This was imported as a Montipora Undata.

I don't know what I'm more impressed with, your tank or your ability to ID everything with their scientific names.

I'm lucky if I can remember their common names lol

That sucks! I had meant to comment on that fish and also on your mandarinfish. It was a great looking wrasse. Do you have any netting over your tank?

Hehe, thank you. I like to know the corals latin names I hate the "store" names like "Green Slimer", "Joe the coral" and similar, because we don't use those names in Norway, and I don't understand what coral everyone is talking about

It's not that hard, you should give it a try

Yeah I hate it when the fish is stupid enough to jump. They have to jump over the rim that is about 10cm +. I don't have netting yet, but I wonder if I should install some I'll have to buy a new wrasse. I want a fish that is known to eat troublemakers if you know what i mean Maybe Halichoeres Iridis or a regular leopard wrasse will be my next purchase.

Acropora Solitaryensis (?) frag.

Acropora, both possibly Multiacuta.

[selje]

Second batch:

Unknown Acropora. Maybe A. Valida or A. Kirstyae?

This was imported as Acropora Kimbeensis.

Acropora Tortuosa.

Seriotopora Caliendrum.

Acropora Selago.

Unknown Acropora.

Acropora Solitaryensis.

 

[Semillon]

What a lovely little coral, your tank is quite marvelous.

 

[klepto]

Acropora, both possibly Multiacuta.

From this image, I'm beginning to wonder if this Acro may be A. lokani. Personally, I would be surprised if both the yellow and blue ones are the same species. Here is one of Veron's images for A. lokani, I think they share some similarities.

Your Turbinaria looks more like T. mesenterina....

 

[Clamchowder]

Here are some updates.

I've had some of my Acropora frags in the tank for 1 month now. Here is some pictures to show the development, especialy colors. I've started to show the pictures with thumbnails. Click the pictures to get full image. Please let me know if I should go back to only show the fullsizes.

(sorry for entering the dates in the wrong format (d/m/y) (it's how we do it in Norway))

Acropora sp. (anyone know which kind?). It's beautiful when you look at it from above the surface. See the third image I'm very happy with the color development for this one.








Acropora sp.








Acropora sp. I know this is some kind of tabling Acropora, but not sure about the right ID.

 

[selje]

Acropora sp. This didn't look so good when I got it. I was almost certain that it would RTN, but look at it now!

 

[selje]

Finally got this in the mail!



A couple of test shots. The Blue Trigger is always so curios.

 

[clowndude]

Cool shots. What is the coral in the second to last picture?

 

[selje]

Thank you. The one with the blue tips? I'm really not sure. Candidates are Multiacuta, Carduus or Turaki/Echinata. Asked for some help in the ID section, but none was sure there either.
