Some Kind Of Tabling Acro?

[Bongo Shrimp]

I saw this and thought it looked like efflo? But I'm no SPS expert so for $40 I figured I'd grab it. So is it an efflo? It has purple tips with white polyps. The lower parts are greenish brown.

(sorry for the bad pic from my phone)

I can get a better pic of it in my tank now if needed.

Looks like an efflo to me.

So do you think it was a good deal for $40? Or is that about right?

I love it either way but it would be nice to know.

 

[vegita51]

Yeah I think $40 is a great deal! I would pay that much for half that!

 

[GhostCon1]

$40 for something that looks to be half the size of your hand? You got a great deal!

it could be an efflo but with the loose branch structure i think its a soli.either way its a good deal for $40.

not efflo, maybe solli

I actually just picked up the books Corals of the World (set of 3) and I looked it up in there and it definitely Acropora efforescens. The edges of Acropora solitaryensis are too branchy to be it.

Here's a better pic:

it really is hard to tell for sure when they are that small,it could easily form a loose branch structure as it gets bigger.either way it is a sweet piece,i love efflos and solis or any tabling acro for that matter
