2 new sps's

[Susan Edwards]

Picked up 2 new sps's. The first one is a montipora-not opened yet. Owner of lfs said it has no name, just an unusual wild caught that he thought was different. What he called an odd ball.

Other new addition is a blue tipped acro. Any name? It's doing nice, already starting to extend. Picture looks more pink and brown and blue doesn't show really good but it is a pretty blue.

First one looks to be a cyphastrea or a echinopora lamellosa

 

[Susan Edwards]

Not a cyphastrea as the owner had one and showed it to me after I showed him a pic of my chili pepper monti which he said was a reverse sunset, so he knew the difference. I'll look up that other one.

Hollywood Stunner and an Austrea or Staghorn would be my guesses.

 

[BoomCorals]

Yea second one looks like a stag or actually maybe closer to a tenuis.

 

[Coronus]

1st one looks like a Turbinaria and the second a Vermiculata.

Here is a better pic of the first one now open

 

[BoomCorals]

Looks like a stylocoeniella

 

[SashimiTurtle]

I'm gonna go with tenuis for the acro.

 

[TangingOut]

First is turbinaria

 

[DSC reef]

Way better pic, looks to be turbinara. Definitely not montipora

Oh yea I could see it being turb too

 

[Susan Edwards]

thanks for all the comments. Will do research into them to see. Love buying corals and then puzzling out exactly what they are~

 

[Susan Edwards]

It'll be interesting to see if scrolls. It does look like the edge is flipping up. Now to figure out where to put it

Here is a better pic of the acro taken from the top down. Under lights and from the side, it looks pink fleshed with blue tint. From top down, it looks more blue. So a blue tenuis perhaps
