Green and Pink Acro

[Schgred]

Can you help me is this? I got it from liveaquaria in a frag pack.

Could be one of the following, or another:

Acropora Robusta
Acropora Abrotanoides
Verse Acropora (which is listed as acropora sp.)

 

[EW_Fish]

Did you try googling those names?

 

[Schgred]

Yeah, that's how I got the names. They all look pretty similar.

If an Acropora robusta was one you ordered, that's what this one is.

 

[Schgred]

If only it were that simple. It came in an acropora frag pack which means they choose from assorted types of acropora but don't say exactly what they are. That's why I'm asking.

 

[evolved]

Ah...

Well, if it's not robusta, it is certainly something quite similar. It's not abrotanoides; I'm certain of that.

Once it grows out it'll be much easier to ID. Treat it like a robusta for now; it's certainly going to grow stag-like.

 

[Schgred]

Thanks. I'm curious why you are confident it isn't an abrotanoides?

 

[evolved]

The corallite structure is wrong.

Found out that this is called a DFS Blue Blizzard Acro. Acropora Austere. See pic below.
