    Default Acro I.D.

    I just bought this acro from a local fish store, but they did not know what kind it is. Anyone have any ideas, it ilooks kindof like some sort of bottlebrush, but I have no idea except that it is real nice.

    Possibilities... A. loripes, A. cerealis, or a young A. valida. Both the cerealis and the valida are somewhat colorful acros when matured.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    I just picked up a frag of something similar today except it is a dark green color. The frag is only about 1.5", but from looking at the mother colony it looks the same.

    I'm not big into ID'ing of corals, mostly because there guesses anyways, as long as it looks nice.

    Nice piece.

    I just took a better picture of this coral, it seems to be doing real well, and looks very happy with all of its polyps out.
