2 new acro that need identification

[Abhishek]

Hi,

Got 2 new acros from a friend of mine .. no Id :-

1. Crazy huge polyps . Has a green base and half of it has dark dirty green base with brown polyps. May be Acropora Horrida ?


2. Green with blue tips , haven't seen any polyps yet but I think they are blue too - Acropora Loripes ?


Any thoughts ?

Regards,
Abhishek

It is a horrida. The polyps should turn all green with yellow base. Nice acro.

Well most acros require high flow high light this should remain the same gor these species

Horrida and Tort

Thank you so much guys !!! The first one now definitely stands out as Horrida .
But the mother colony too was deep green with brown polyps . I guess that's not the actual color but showed so due to lower light ???

Like you , I thought the second one as Tortusa too but my friend thinks it might be an Austera which is often confused with a tort .

Time will tell and of course my photography sucks !!!
