tenuis or tort acropora

[Susan Edwards]

So I thought this was a tenuis coral in the acropora category. But I can't find that a tenuis has sweeper tentacles. Mine has long ones, esp. after I've cleaned the front glass. I did find that torts do have sweepers, so is this a tort?

Doesn’t look like a Tenuis, but it looks healthy!

does yours have sweeper tentacles? I read that tenuis do not and mine has a ton of them. I know torts have them

Those are mesenterial filaments. It’s not touching any other coral so I suspect it’s a stress or feeding response. That also definitely looks like a tenuis.

It always does this after I've cleaned my glass.

Looks like a tenuis. Pretty much any Acropora can put out mesenterial filaments like that.

Not my Tenius haven't seen it,but my shortcake does it , I've seen it do it lately. It's definitely a feeding response like.. someone said
