try and id these cool acros for me

[murphreef]

ok first has a purple tip and purpleish body very fat polyps and thick branches at the base.... i have no idea what this is at all

next is a purple acro with very thin branches and only one polyp at the end of each branch.... polyps are white and the polyps at the base where its encrusting is green

any insight to what these may be would be cool thanks!!!

The second sounds and looks similar to a bali tri-color. I haven't a clue on the first one, very bushy though. Nice pieces.

I agree with Corn, Chris at ReeferMadness.com is a great resource for ID's.

first one looks like A.Tenuis. i have about 6 different tenuis and all have different growth forms, dependant on lighting and flow. maybe chips acro ut i'd bet tenuis

second looks to be A.Valida.

hey zapata...

i dont think the first is a tenuis i have a small tenuis and its totally different in growth and color from a normal lookin tenuis.... id say more of a chips acro when comparing the two....

the second to me doesnt look like a valida i have one of those too and its completely different ....

yeah its purple but each thin branch only has one polyp at the tip of the branch/coralite.... to me its got more of a deep water acro growth pattern but i could be wrong.....

thanks for the suggestions lets see what anyone else thinks>?
