Acropora ID

[Nami]

Hi everyone,

Anyone able to help identify what frag that I have here? It has started giving new shoots after months in my tank. The color is greyish blue. Is it some kind of staghorn?

Looks like an acropora yongei or green slimer variant, they come in blueish. "Blue slimer"

Do slimer polyps extend so much? This frag is hairy lol.

I also noticed it does not slime as much.

not yongei, yongei essentially look like tenuis but branching

A yongei is a green slimer. And that looks like a color variant of a green slimer to me

Acropora abrolhosensis
also known as the "yeti"

This must be it, when I looked up images for a. Albrohosensis, definitely similar to this frag. Its pale blue under white light.

Looking forward to it growing into a larger colony.

Thanks for the ID everyone.
