Acropora abrolhosensis?

aereaus · Apr 4, 2016

Just curious if this is what I have. It was simply labeled acropora. I know abrolhosensis dont like as much flow so I need to know so I can move it if need be. Thanks for the help.

Could be actually

Could also be papillare

I can't accurately tell between them. The tips don't seem long enough for abro. I'm wrong 97.84% of the time though

Well to be fair I am terrible at ID with acros as well, unfortunately not all of these species that it could be have similar care. If it is in fact the Abrolhosensis then it needs far less flow than the others. I am getting good polyp extension though except on the bottom which in my experience is pretty normal. Kind of making me want to supplement my gen 3 radion pros with some flourescents and I just so happen to have four 96watt power compacts lying around...
