does anyone know what this is?

I've had this piece for a few months now. it has browned out on me ever since I got it so I never knew what the colors are but lately, it has been growing and coloring up more. I'm kinda excited to see what the colors will be within the next month or two. but what kind of acro is this? and what color would you say it will be? I see purple developing.

The picture is very blue.
It kinda looks like a vailida, but I know it isn't. Is it loripes?
Hopefully you get your answer. It is gorgeous.

Huh.... I would guess some sort of tri color and was going to guess validia but am not sure. Can you get a pic with daylights?

i think its an efflo or soli.im willing to bet it will begin to form into a table and be deep green with a purple rim with white polyps.

Looks liek it could be either the wwc efflo or also some what looks like the blue berry thing they have too,.

 

[MarvinsReef]

I'll keep yah guys posted on how it turns out in a few weeks. :)

Now that i look at it again it doesnt have a Efflo growth pattern, deff looks like a gem though.

My vote is Efflo but my second guess would be tri-color. My Efflo growth is off to one side too, and has the same thick multi branch thingy ma jiggers like yours lol. Looks like it will table out once it grows, but yours seems to be kinda growing upwards? Can't really tell.
You have it in low light?

I would say a Tri-Color Valida. What makes me think its not an Efflo, the longest branch is completely separate unlike what looks like an Efflo on the bottom portion.


The circled area is what makes me think its a Valida and not an Efflo

T\I thought the same thing to reefpet but i disticly seeing a piece of the ORA efflo with that same growth when i saw it last year. But im going to stay with some sort of acro

 

[MarvinsReef]

Thanks guys. hopefully, it will be easier when it grows out and colors up. hoping it does both in the next few weeks. :)

 

[Jcr's Reef]

Yeah that's why its hard for me to say, but isn't that a really thick branch below your circle for a tri-color? I mean for not having multiple branches coming off of it like a tri-color usually does?
I'm basing mine off of my own colonies I have though. I know they all grow somewhat differently

 

[MarvinsReef]

does this pic help at all? I know it's almost the same pic but a little more in focus and closer.

 

[cmcneil]

I still say it's an efflo or soli and I'm leaning toward the soli.

efflos will branch out like that too... it will get grown over eventually and a uniform plate will grow (if it is an efflo), but when theyre small they throw branches out all over the place
