G-6 bottebrush?

[cee]

Got the frag and it was labeled G-6 rainbow bottlebrush. I know that can't be correct but does anybody know what the typo was on G-6 (another vendor with similar initials, perhaps)? Here's a picture but not sure if it is going to help:

I can't get a hold of the hobbyist I got it from to ask. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Kinda looks like Sexy Corals Blue Urine

I am pretty sure (90%) that is Acropora plana, which is actually a tabling Acropora. G-6 just might be the number system the seller gave it to list some where. That's what our local club members will do when we have a club frag auction.

I've not seen a plana with such polyp extension but it is possible. The owner said it came from Jarret as a rainbow bottlebrush. Anyone know who Jarret is (owner of online store, I suspect).

Not sure who Jerret is. I do know of a Garrett of Garrett's Acropolis. Garrett's Acropolis Garrett has a A. insignis that looks very close to yours. Are you looking for a species ID or a show name?

The polyp extension shouldn't make a big difference on an ID decision, it could lead you in the right direction. Really we would need to know how it grows as a colony and how the other features look like the corallites and branches if you would like to know the species. I can't think of any bottle brush species that would look like that.

I''m going with plana too. The one at the shop looks similar to that and has great PE.

Probably Jared, not Jarret, from Rocky Mountain Frags.
