Hey I picked up a few new frags but i'm not entirely sure what they are. I'm kinda new to the acros. Any idea??

First one, no clue, but possibly a very small Green Slimer. It'll be easier to ID after it grows more and you can see a true growth pattern.

Second on, just a guess, but possibly some type of A. Tenuis.
 
told ya, haha... when i held that first frag for craig it had hairs all over it... green slimer i said... but noooo im a newb, i dont know what im talkin about lol teasing! :wink: even tho its very likely i DONT know what the heck im talking about!!!!!!!!!!
 
Did it get real slimy when you handled it? They call them slimers for a reason.
 
Slimers do really slime up when handling, however, in my experience, some of my other SPS slime up even more. For instance, my A. micropthalma slimes up WAY more than my Green or Purple Slimer.
 
Well all of them slimed up a little bit when I first moved them in but I don't recall that one being especially slimey.

Sue, that could have just been a lucky guess but so far it doesn't look like most of the green slimers I've seen. Again, I probably will just have to wait until it grows out. I'll post pics as it grows.
 
First one, as I have one now too, is def no slimer. I own those as well, it simply slims the typical Acropora defense. I would put my money on a morph of Granulosa as the polyps have very little extension, very smooth skin, and "bubbly, rounded" growth edges to it.

Second, well thats easy, its a coral.....


DUH!:tongue:
