I can't help on an ID, but that green piece is stunning! Nice find

I got about 2 weeks ago, colored up nice, hope the other can do something.

Hard to say from the pics but I would guess Acropora clathrata for the first and agree with Acropora solitaryensis for the second.

Thanks,
I'll try and get a better pic.
Looks like it could be clathrata.
Any guesses at lighting and flow of each?

 

[Volcano1]

Might be a little beter.

Oh yeah I am even more certain about A. clathrata with those pics. I haven't seen it for years but I would start it off with moderate light and moderate to strong flow. I think with stronger flow you should see the branches fuse together to make a solid plate.

Ok,
Thanks.

Thats were it's been and seems happy, the Soli is right above it, too much light for the Soli?. Doesn't seem to mind it.

 

[Frick]

Yeah it looks fine.

 

[Volcano1]

Thanks,
Wish all Vernon's pic's were in color and the same as mine.

All his pictures are in the wild with possibly a flash from his camera. Or whoever took the pic. We reefers tend to over do it with the blues and actinic spectrum causing an exaggerated amount of color. That is one of many reasons why you can't truly get a proper ID based on color.
