Been a whlie since I posted pictures, so here's a few recent random sps (mostly top down) shots from my tank.
Monti

A rosaria?

Stylo (rainbow color morph)

Tri-color (a bonsai?)

A selago?

Tort

Misc.

Really nice! You have some beautiful corals. I was going to say which one I liked best but couldn't decide. :lol:

Hi Greg,
Gotta love those top down shots! Thanks for those

Cheers,
Kevin

lookin' good....the selago looks like a tenuis to me or is it my eyes. I do have a selago that was from the old Aquarium City.

Sue I know they are similar in a lot of ways so maybe you're right. When that piece was smaller it looked very close to the picture in this link.
Here is a link to A selago

Here is a photo of what I believe is an a tenuis in my reef. They are quite close in many ways but have different coralite growth.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

The corallites on my selago, which Tyree id'd from the old LFS Aquarium City, are more smooth for lack of a more/better technical description. It is blue and has a different growth form, it's a bit more open then clustered. The corallites are much more smooth and the polyps aren't quite a fleshy. Tyrees word not mine. LOL..

 

[Snappy]

I won't argue with the experts so I'll start calling it a tenuis. Thanks Sue.

Greg, this is just my best guess..don't go by anything I say.

Beautiful corals and pictures. Thanks for sharing.

HI Greg,
The A. selago I've seen has thinner branches that break rather easily (even by a fish bumping them). The leading corallites are more elongated and the radial corallites are taller. Compare the skeletal pictures in Veron's COW book.

Trying to ID most Acropora corals when they are small is extremely difficult unless it's something quite obvious and then usually no one asks for an ID

Regards,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin, I think more A tenuis not A selago now.
Thanks,

Where do you get your corals? Are they from an on line source or lfs?

 

[seismic]

Thanks you guys. FFrankie, I get some at LFS and some online and I do a lot of trading with other reefers. I enjoy trading the most because there is little guess work for what the frag can grow in to.
