Acropora ID

[Raphael Dalmeida]

Hi guys,

Got this as a cheap small brown acropora from a local hobbyst.

Can't believe how much it grew and coloured up, all I did is leave it in one spot and not move, high flow and high light.

Does anyone know what type of Acro is this?

Thanks man, haha I was surprised looking at it after 2 months that went from brown to purple w/ green polyps.

As much as the hobby can be tough sometimes, other times it's very rewarding.

I wonder if anyone know the type of acropora (subspecies). Based on the shape.

Looks like acropora tenuis to me

Wish I had the name for you, sweet looking acro though!

Doesn't look like like Tenuis; the corallites of this coral are not "flared" enough and the thecae are too thick to be A. tenuis.
