First, I bought all three of these from sources that didn't know a species besides "It's a good looking little acro." What I've had recommended so far as the guesses for the species is listed with the pictures. The lighting is a 250W 20K Coralvue for all of the pictures, no flash.
This first is still a tiny frag and is growing, though it's incredibly slow. I've had it for 2.5 months and over those months, it's grown back down the damaged branches and has a small third branch that's started to grow out. The only guess I've had so far is A. sarmentosa and I can't find any pictures of the species to corroborate it. These two pics are from the first day I had the coral and from today. You can see the webs from vermetids all around it. I had it there on a plug for awhile and the little guys never seemed to bother it.
There's several species I've seen that match this. The guesses I've had as well as those from another aquarist range from A. micropthalma to a stag. It has browned out a little in high light, so I moved it to see if the tips blue up again.
And lastly, Mr. Fuzzy. A. cerealis is the best guess I've seen, but the branches seem too thick. It seems to love high light, with the camera doing its purple no justice. Here's one focused pic with poor PE, and one fuzzy one with great PE.
Thanks in advance!
