Pearlberry Acropora?

[JYoung]

So I recently purchased a pearlberry acro online and have had it in my tank now for 2 days. I know that acros do change color and that they will color back up. However with the order I was also sent another wrong coral so I'm a little nervous that this is not a pealberry. Can someone please id this one. Also the lighting I have it under is the Razor 420r and I have raised it higher in the tank. The color of it now is a reddish brown color and I am noticing a greenish tint to it as well.

Does not look like a pearlberry to me. Corralites and growth structure looks different. Look like some sort of stag. Who was the vendor?

That is definitely not a pearlberry...I agree with the post above, growth form is completely different than a pearlberry.

 

[Reefnub]

Yep, it is definitely not a pearlberry. There is no way a pearlberry can get that stag like growth form.

 

[reefinder]

No way that's a stag not a pearlberry

 

[tang daddy]

Not a pearlberry. Hopefully you didn't pay $50 for a brown stag....

That is actually remarkably bad. wow.

 

[JYoung]

Wow, wish I would have seen that earlier. Hopefully future buyers see this thread before the make a purchase then.

There has been bad reviews about aqua con for as long as I can remember! Hard to believe they are still around!

 

[JYoung]

Maybe its time to get the word out

 

[basser1]

Yep..... The words "Aqua" and "Con" definately don't go together!!

 

[sreefs]

I think the word is out, search aquacon! I also have heard the same things about the company you bought from.

 

[JYoung]

Do you have any recommendations on a good dealer to purchase from?

 

[sreefs]

Live aquaria.com from there Divers Den is the best! No worries buying from them.
