Thanks guys!

I would say that the first one is a Lokani and the second a Gomezi

Lokani? Really? *scratches head*

Could be a lokani but looks more like loripes to me...

I would say so but of course its hard to tell at times. It looks like a wild Bali Maricultured Lokani. Loripes typically have closer coralites from the ones that I have seen.


Lokani: Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den - Acropora lokani

Lokani : Reference Record for Bottlebrush Coral , Acropora Lokani

well as the people that do coral id for a living state, you can't get a positive id without a picture of an adult colony, and a dead skeleton. So my guess is as good as the rest of you

^^ I agree. Many times its just impossible, a lot of guess work on many acros. Could be either one, Lokani or Loripes.

The second one could be either a Tort or Gomezi.... Both are very nice!
