SPS ID Help

Xmoji · Mar 7, 2018

Good evening everyone. I’m hoping you guys can help me with this coral ID. I purchased this beauty as a one inch frag about 3 years ago and the seller told me the name but I can’t remeber. I’m hoping one of you can jog my memory.

The sps has a green base/body with purple corallites with greenish polyps and purple growth tips. The branches are thicker than most acros I have seen on the hobby.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking

Acropora Enchinata versus Tortuosa? Not my image of a Miyagi.

Wow Miyagi Tort looks pretty close! Here’s a picture I found online. What do you guys think?

I was thinking Cali Tort or Miyagi Tort also.

looks like Miyagi Tort ...

Yeah definitely leaning towards miyagi. I have Oregon tort and they’re definitely different.

Looks exactly, exactly like my aurora acropora. Think it’s a WWC acro.

In my area we have called this purple passion for awhile. Although I think it may be very similar to myagi tort

This was my colony the center is greener than you can tell in these pics.

You guys think it is the same?

The green is really noticeable on my piece towards the base of the Coral. Purple is strictly on the corallites and the growth tips. Yours look a lot more like a acro that is more purple in general especially towards the base of the first piece.
