I’ve held off on selling a few acros because I can’t nail down an ID.

Are you looking for scientific name or "trade" name?
 
Looks like a Purple Tip Nasuta OR purple dragon acro

Always interested in the scientific, but would like to know the "trade" names for selling and trading with other reefers.

Got it. "trade" names are really about lineage, so if the person you got it from doesn't know, then it really doesn't have a "trade"name. You can name it yourself, or just go by the scientific name. @C. Eymann might have some input on that.

#1 This was from a local reefer and I honestly forget the name he said.
#2-5 were non-identified from an acro pack that ended up growing into great looking colonies.


Or just sell with a pic under wysiwyg.

Great point.
 
Here are my best guesses

1 - nana
2 - paniculata or desalwii but really its to small to tell. I love the tiny coralites and thick growth
3 - granulosa (looks like ora’s skyline right now)
4 - millepora
5 - hyacinthus
