SPS Id? Acropora microclades?

[MattKla]

Hi there!

Now trying it over the Atlantic!
Forums are not my world. Read but don't post normally...

Can anyone tell me the name of my coral from the pic, please?
Bought small frag 6 years ago from private. But all he knows was Fiji.

I don't think it's microclades (Picachu)? But not sure. Picachu is less yellow. This strong kind of yellow species have never seen in stores here.

Sorry for my bad English in advance! O

Thanks for help!
Matt

Looks like a Yellow Carolina or Suharsonoi, to me. Put me in for a frag as well;Smug

 

[MattKla]

Thanks for reply!
Suharsonoi looks very different?
Carolina was also my second thinking after microclades. But if compared with my carolina ssp. or in stores here not really. Never have seen with this strong yellow.
Hmmm, well, looks nice and grows. That's the the most important thing.

Due may rare I share frags to people I know they will make this hobby for years normally.
But shipping to US is quiet complicated, I'm sorry. Be in States every year. Take with would be possible. Can order EU export cites. But as I know it's allow traders to import (get US import cites) only. Here for private possible, too. So not in US possible I think. For details please ask US wild life service! As no native speaker I gave up as read time ago.

Anyway, thanks for help!

EU offers, special exchange would be welcome, interested!

The colony looks like a granulosa to me.

This is a JF Yellow Carolina, his stock pic.

Hi!
Oh, not sure how you say to that part in English. The part of coral where you see polyps come out?!
If you compare with caroliner looks very different. So it's more little like microclades maybe, and just yellow. Here also no one was sure. So in North America also not common.

Radial Corallite.

Now it kinda looks like Rosaria or Loripes... with a lean towards Loripes with the long stretches without any corallies that are pretty white... I am not thinking Granulosa anymore.

 

[MattKla]

I think looks very close to Acropora microclades lemonpie. But missing one tentacle in middle of each polyp. The one tentacle is typical for microclades species. Other color like strawberry shortcake shows it.

 

[MattKla]

An hybrid between microclades and caroliner?!

I am thinking loripes as well with granulosa as a distant second
