I have one that I bought at a LFS that came from another customers tank.
They were unsure of the name of it, but they did know it was a tort.
Mine looks exact to the one pictured in the link.
Any ideas which one/ones it might be?
I'm new to the hobby and SPS... just wanting a name to put to it so I can start studying up on it.
Forgive me if I am kind of answering my own question here, but from the link it has it listed as an Acropora Tortuosa. I did do a search and one thing that has me excited is that ones of the names that popped up is "ORA Oregon Blue Tort". This is the one coral that when I started I really wanted. Are they one in the same, or is the ORA Oregon a specific "strain" of Acropora Tortuosa?
So far it seems to be doing good. At first only the tips of the polyps were exposed, now the "whole hand" is sticking out.
I just increased my lights a little as I was told to wait for polyp extension, then increase.
