Acro in need of a name

[Davesgt]

Ok i just got this guy the other day and he looked pretty rough at the store but hes starting to come around. I was wondering if it was to early for an ID? It was a free acro so i figured what the heck plus its a pretty good size frag, its 3 1/4 tall and about 2 3/4 wide. It is a neon green with neon green polyps. Figured on of our SPS guru's might help with this one. Thanks guys

Are you looking for a show name? Or species?

For a species i am thinking it might be Acropora aculeus. But it is still too small and the fuzzy polyps hide the corallites. Did you see the mother colony it came from?

Corals of the World Factsheet and images - Acropora aculeus

They are a almost blue green corallites and lime green polyps, the rest of it is a bright lime green

Both of those corals are Acropora aculeus. They are both just strain of A. aculeus that were a little unique and given a name to distinguish them.

It's turning out to be a beautiful piece. You are so lucky to get it for free, the acro has that flair and charm. If you are looking to name it - I would suggest Lucky Charms.
