Picking up a few frags at a swap and the person doesn’t have an IDs for them.

Wondering if anyone can give me the species ID - Photos are not from my tank

I personally would not go chasing for hobby trade names its a lost cause.

If you are interested in learning more about specific acropora species i believe there was a website that was atleast doing the different names like millipora, speciosa, tenuous, etc.

At this point I've gone to the following....

Base color
Skin color
Corralite color
Polyp color
 
Pic 1; look up BC unicorn bloodbath or PR fruity pebbles

Pic 2 right; look up vivid’s confetti

Agree with previous comments on name chasing and recommend just keeping them as nameless as you can never be sure and even then the same coral can have multiple names (ref pic1)

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
