And it shall be called the "purple nerple"

[DEWreefing]

This acro has so many colors. Anybody know what the genus is?

Awesome colors! Pretty hard to id with no branches though.

They are just so packed in there like a Christmas tree

Maybe someone can take a guess if you baste the polyps back. Otherwise repost once the branches form a little more.

I'm going to guess the genus is Acropora

 

[C. Eymann]

Yeah, agree with @Pedoconfuego that mostly just looks like a ball of fluff, lol. Need polyps retracted for a good ID

It has a very Acropora plana look to it so far though.

Well you guessed the genus already.

as far as species, I’d guess horrida. No good reason why as to the guess other than I want to say it’s a horrida.

Lol, honestly ball of fuzz is about as accurate as you can get with these pics so far.

It's so hard to get a picture of it sitting in the middle of the tank.

 

[C. Eymann]

I'm sticking with my guess of it being A. plana

Gorgeous, comrade

 

[DEWreefing]

Not sure if this one would be considered a table acro it has only ever grown up. Its sitting at about 150 par debating on fragging a piece and placing it in the 450 par range.

 

[C. Eymann]

At this size (frag) it's hard to be sure what its growth form will be, I'm just going off of axial development and the very few radials I can clearly see in the pics.

A. plana is my best guess, hopefully others will chime in on their suggestions of possible species.

 

[DEWreefing]

Well I guess time will only tell if you guys would like I will update every so often. So we can figure this guy out.
