What kind of sps is this?

[BHD]

Hello everyone,

Please help me identify this sps. I had it for few years but don't know the name of it. Is it a Tort or a Staghorn?

Thanks,
Bao

id it slimey ? I have a piece like that, but its very slimy

 

[BHD]

No, its not slimy at all. Not like the Green Slimer I have next to it.

 

[Allmost]

When I started out many years ago, it was sold to me as a California Tort. So I just keep it in my tank like that. But now I am not sure if it is actually a Tort, it looks more like a staghorn?

Id say Acropora gomezi

Looks like a cali torte to me. Maybe a little faded, but that may be the camera

Man, i have three guesses, in this order;

Parilis http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0469/view#
Tortuosa that is growing longer branches (maybe has slow water flow) http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0075/view#
Gomezi , if it were getting lots of flow http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0922/view#

Well I don't have alot of flow around this coral. The base and body is kind of green.

+1 cali tort
branch structure, coralites as as coloration

maybe a A. Macrathauma

Cali tort...for sure....better lighting will make it much much blue..

 

[Borchers]

It needs to color up more for any proper ID. Also it's a tort of some kind. Cali torts are blue,green with green tips.

 

[dvanacker]

Best guess for me is tort as well.

Sky blue acro? I have some that looks strikingly similar that was sold to me as sky blue acro.. Got it and it came from a seriously shaded part of a guys frag tank and it started as greenish.I got three huge colonies 12" each for $20..it's been about a month and has about an inch of thin new growth.. Then new growth is light blue and body started to loose the green and is in a brownish blue state now. Mine has brownish polyps that are suppose to be green I think. Let me know if you want me to post a pic. But it looks just like yours.
