Staghorn question

MightyMike · 12-14-2006, 04:11 PM

What would distinguish a staghorn such as nobilis from a formosa? like when you're looking at branching acros and you're not sure which is which?

i think it is distinguish by its skeletal shape n how it grows out. I'm sure its a lot more complicated than that though.

RM, you are partially corect - and mike, great question - I would move this to the advanced reef section if I were you.

Skelatal structure is similar but differnt as well and uaully distiguishes one from another - coralaites etc

if you have the book CORALS there is a section that identifies the formation of acros by name(tables, branching etc..)
