Amazing Corals from BattleCorals

[Carlosreef]

Well, some time ago, I got a care package from Adam and just wanted to show how the corals are doing. I genuinely believe it is critical to show pictures of BattleCorals in different systems so we can all see how similar the corals remain. I think we all want our corals to look as close as possible as the pictures which mesmerized us and made us want to get them into our systems.

Bleeding Tree Acro



Poison Envy


Aussie Granulosa Acro



Hot Flesh Acro


Therman's Rainbow Acro


Bonsai Humilis Acro


Honeycomb Acro


Skinny Blue Acro


I cannot say enough about Adam and his corals. If you are considering purchasing from him, don't wait!

Having the name of the coral next to their picture is going to be needed for this exercise.

I was in the middle of doing that when you posted it. I guess I should have been faster.

Beautiful!

Is that top one a A. abortanoides? if so that's the fuzziest one I have ever seen!

I don't think so. I have an A. abrotanoides and they are different. I honestly do not know what the Bleeding Tree Acro is.

Acropora abrotanoides (True staghorn)

Hmm, from what I can see of the few top radials structure look like abortanoides

I don't think so. I have an A. abrotanoides and they are different. I honestly do not know what the Bleeding Tree Acro is.

That one looks like aborlhonesis^^^


The one you posted in the OP looks like abortanoides IMO, the radials on abortanoides are tubular and have narrow corallites, where as aborlhonesis radials are more dish shaped and nariform.

Eitherway, awesome pickups!

I had actually thought robusta? Any insight on that stab

I'd say that's possible, they are very similar.

Adam, I got that as a small frag from Menard's main tank. It is the thick true staghorn. So you are probably right, it does look like an A. robusta!

Here is the picture of the mother colony. I took a screenshot from an old video.



I have had that frag for a couple of years, and it has spent all its energy building a base. Based on the picture, it needs that base to support the weight of the skeleton.

And hey thanks a lot for the post Carlos. Always a pleasure to see you guy and so glad to see the frags are settling in well.

He truly is a pleasure to deal with, great product, great prices, pest free, communicates well, excellent service!

My tank went through a little bit of a funk, the upside to losing a few SPS is more room for more BC frags
