ID acropora

[duke62]

Anyone know the name of this acro. Scientific and common name. Had it for months and its my favorite coral and if anything happens to it i know what im looking for. Its lime green with purple growth tips. Absolutely stunning coral. Sorry for the bad pic i cant get close with my cell camera

To me it looks like a tenius acropora.

I got the same coral and still haven't IDed it either, but they do look like a Tenius....

Beautiful coral! Hopefully you will be fragging when my tank is back up and running. LOL

Best way to ensure you don't lose a coral is to frag it among friends. But be sure that they don't lose it... I lost ALL of my acros and even though I had given away and sold (for CHEAP) hundreds of frags I have not been able to find a single person that still has them!

Tough to tell from the pic. Kimbeensis? Tri-color?

I will try taking a top down photo later on when i do a water change. Its hard to get a picture through the bow of the 92

Jim I think we talked about this coral...I got mine from Mike at Tropical Island and here it is a few months after I got it....

and now about 1.5 years later...it normally has much brighter colors, but took a hit without halides for a week during the outage..

did some research ..they look like an ORA blue Iris

 

[duke62]

No mine looks nothing like that. My coral is mostly green with small blue growth tips. The ora blue iris looks like a enchinata or spaciosos. Dont know how to spell that LOL
