help id on lokani

[holyscoly]

does anyone no what type of lokani this is

20k starlight etc

I don't think there is a name for that one. Looks maricultured. It may even be a Acropora caroliniana not a lokani.

 

[holyscoly]

yeah its a maricultured piece i cant really take a good pick but from what ive seen it has white polyps

 

[holyscoly]

lets say its a lokani or a Acropora caroliniana i have it about 1 foot away from a 250 xm 10k is this to far down what lighting reqierments should i place this guy in

My understanding is that lokani is a deepwater acro, therefore I would expect it to thrive under slightly lower light....

The term "deepwater" is a marketing term used in reference to some of the more sparsely polyped acros like lokani, simplex, caroliniana... truth is they're collected in the same areas and at the same depths as virtually all the other collected species. So... don't assume they require less light.
