Acro ID Help

[dublin_reefer]

Hey everyone, first post so go easy on my looking for help ID’ing a few acros I have. They’re all originally frags of Indo maricultured colonies but I’m curious as to what types of acro they are.

I’m guessing the first one is a Tory (it was basically mocha brown when I got it but is now showing color).

Second I think might be a microclados? But it looks a bit leggier than a typical shortcake is that makes sense.

Final is a tenuis, I’m wondering if anyone has seen one similar with a trade name and if so what was it called?

Last one for trade name look up “pc rainbow” and compare. (Assuming one in front)

It’s pretty dang close tbh! Thank you so much. It’s definitely lost a bit of that Pc rainbow colouration as it’s grown but we recently upgraded the lights so hopefully it will come back.

Lower light will be darker red-purple- higher light you’ll start to see the rainbow. One of the most colorful and variation between higher and lower light… worth one in a couple spots :). It grows fast once acclimated

2nd pic I would consider maybe as a pink tenuis. Comes in tons of flavors and names. microclados have more of a tube structure - (look up shortcake) attached a couple pink tenuis examples

Amazing! Recently swapped over from an XR15 blue to an XR30 Blue. I ran a par test before and after the swap. It was in 180par before as it’s way down close to the sand bed but under the light. New target will be 250par but will take a while to gently ramp that up.


good shout on the tenuis too. It’s a weird one. Changes a lot depending on the light cycle and time of day. Very slow grower too. Most of the time it’s an orange and teal base with orange polyps that start off red. Can’t wait to see what it develops into. That’s the best part of acros to me.

Check out how the first coral looked when I bought for $50
