The last pic looks similar to a stag I got from chad. It's brown with baby blue tips. I'll try and get a good pic tomorrow.

Nice corals Matt, the first one looks like a deep water coral, I'll check back later after Kevin.

I dont have my books with me as im In Macedonia Yugoslavia but i will take a stab. Remember. Just a stab. First one is a tort of some sort,lol. Second A.Azuia (SP)or A.Aculeus (sp), no book for reference, 3. A. Grandis(SP). 4. A.Tenuis. 5and 6 will have to wait till im back as not really sure at all about them. I would want to say A.tenuis too but their shape is different.

Hi Matt,
It's just about impossible to ID Acropora frags. Even when they grow into colonies and you have close-up shots of the corallites it can be very difficult.
#3 perhaps A. formosa.
#4 maybe A. tenuis.

Regards,
Kevin
PS: They are very nice corals for sure

[Frankie]

Awesome pictures and corals. I really like the third one!

A bit off the topic, but what kinda glue are you using to secrure those frags ? What brand ? Nice sps by the way.

 

[mmkeeper]

Looks like super glue gel to me.

 

[matts125]

I use superglue Gel to glue all my corals. its cheap and easy!

Acropora spp.

Although, I agree with Kevin on the 4th one. Possibly an Acropora tenuis.

Best,
Ilham
