Please I.D.

I think that this is a Acropora cervicornis, by it's appearance. That being said, most staghorns look alike. I would like a second opinion.

I have no clue. you?

Unlikely because Acropora cervicornis is only found in the Caribbean. So they are protected and nearly impossible to find in the aquarium trade.

I think it's just a good ol' Acropora formosa. But with something that size it will have to grow out more to get a better idea.

Thanks Jason.


If not a Acropora cervicornis, than what would you say?

 

[Frick]

Formosa for now.

So the top picture, is the stag colony A. formosa. The lower picture is separate from the top picture. Two different corals, I think. I should have been clearer about that.

Thanks

+1 formosa

a. cervicornis is from the Caribbean like frick said probally huge fine for selling it and never seen except in the ocean , but similar structure as formosa

I wasn't sure if it was the same or older pic. The second is hard to say, not much to go on for structure and the corallites could be many different species.

Maybe Acropora abrolhosensis if it is a stag type as well.
