Anyone know what kind of acro this is? I really like the colors on this coral. I just got frag along with the pearlberry last week.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking A. secale

Dont know what species, but I must say, it looks like a Purple Plasma with a fatter branch thickness.

Your right it does.

A. Horrida and same as purple plasma I would say.

I'm thinking its acropora aculeus as it is a tabling acro I seen a friends awhile back and its definatly a tabling acro

I think aculeus or something similar, too. I have the Fuzzy Green and one that I suspect is a Fuzzy Green. The one I bought on an ORA plug is a deeper green than the other suspected FG and the coralites are a little different, but they look very similar. The purchased Fuzzy Green is growing up (branches thin out a lot) and I can still tell differences between the two I have (several have told me the two are he same, so I'm waiting to see

).

I've seen threads about this over at RC a while ago- Very nice color & a very fast grower. It is Maricultured btw- not captive raised

I thought all ORA stuff was aquacultured?

Initially I think your correct but I think they hold these awhile before selling so if nothing else there tank acclimated I have both the green fuzzy and blue bottle brush and both growing and have kept color .
