Acropora ID

[kartrsu]

I picked up this green staghorn acropora from a local reefer. Don’t know what it is, but wondering if anyone can ID it. Turquoise with purple polyps, chunky.

seems like a tort (a. toruosa)

I agree, looks like a tort to me. Hard to give hobby name without knowing source since there are a lot of similar looking corals floating around. Looks like a Miyagi Tort or variant.

Here is the mother colony it was cut from.

Wow, that's nice! Don't know what it is, but I want one!

Perhaps some "strawberry shortcake" variant?

Microclados species possible

Looks like a twin to my RR THE VINH colony. I'll post a pic. tomorrow afternoon at peak.

Thanks for the input everyone. It’s a stag for sure. I’m still thinking it’s ORA Laura Purple Polyp. What do you guys think about that match?

If Laura’s purple polyp, nasuta, no?
