SPS ID

[Jason Truong]

Can someone ID this for me? Was told it was a Walt Disney but also have heard otherwise.

Well the polyp color is definitely right but I’ve never seen one with polyps so spaced out and a grey color? Is it grey or white? If white it’s bleached from too much light too fast. Here’s my frag as a comparison

It's blue

Normally the Tips are blue and in very high light 400 plus par or so they turn lighter purple.

They were under a first gen AI hydra for a few years. Just got put under my kessil ap700s
Here they are under the AI's. Not colored up at all.

Buddy I got it from said that acros grow differently depending on lighting and flow and that is why the structure is like that

Cool coral; definitely not the "Walt Disney" however; the polyps are too separated. @The Camaro Show has the real deal, which looks exactly like mine.

What do you think it is then?

Reminds me of ORAs bellnia from back in the day.

Yes that is true but not that structure is quite off and honestly not sure if any light and flow condition could create that

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

The og big r wd is a Tenuis, like this

And the op pic does not look like a Tenuis to me.

 

[SeaDweller]

The thing is, it doesn’t resemble a tenuis to me in the slightest. But what do I know?

 

[C. Eymann]

I dont think its tenuis either, radiars are more tubular in structure and too far apart llike others mentioned. Part of me wants to say A. horrida

 

[Steven Garland]

Looks like some kind of rainbow Horrida of some sort to me.

Ask for a colony picture??

I posted a pic of like 10 mini colonies lol

Oh sorry missed it, but I just don’t see anyway that growth and structure is a WD. Polyp color is spot on.

Look at my reply again, I added a pic of the mother. It's a bad pic though but maybe you can see it. Structure looks kinda different, maybe because of light? Here's the whole tank

I'm pretty sure both Steve and I got it with A. horrida, but as always with acropora id going off pictures is never conclusive.

If it’s the coral I think in the pic it isn’t WD, hope you didn’t get taken. Light has more to do with color and growth. Flow has the most impact on growth pattern
