Acro ID

[spsmike]

I have had this acro forever and a day. It seems to like low light however it grows really fast. I had half of it rtn when I added my metal halide set up to replace the pcs and its grown back in full force. It tends to have a neon green fringe on the new growth. I have tried and tried to get an ID with no avail so any lhelp would be appreciated.

There's really no way to positively ID that Acropora based upon it's size and those pictures. Anyone that volunteers an ID is making a wild guess.

And you call yourself advanced......... :roll:

The more one knows, the less one knows. Sounds paradoxical, but it is true.

It is definitely Acropora whatchayoucallitsis, and I am 100% sure.

If you knew what it was, why did you ask? Enjoy wasting other people's time?

FWIW, even with a picture of the mother colony, it's difficult to ID Acropora corals that have grown in aquariums. They often morph into colors and shapes that are very different from wild colonies. Veron himself wouldn't have guessed what species that was.

BTW, the "Advanced Aquarist" tag was supplied by RDO, not me. It refers to the fact that I'm a regular contributor to that publication. :roll:

Greg's tanks have been featured in numerous magazines and books. If you own Borneman's "Aquarium Corals" flip to pages 325 and 333. And he's right about the coral

I dont have pages 325 or 333 cause someone tore them out.

I usually tore pages out of the library if I like the color picture a lot. So isn't the book you have way overdued?
