help!!! identify acropora

[manuma]

hello friends during the week I arrived home this acropora and wanted you to help me identify it, I think it's acropora lokani 20K? please leave me your opinions. Greetings.

Maybe Acropora Loripes.

I have already received the acro we speak

 

[manuma]

you think you can be loripes, growth is not the same, no?

At first sight it appears to be A. jacquelineae, A. multiacuta or A. lokani.

Maricultured smooth skinned acros can be a little tough to ID until they grow out a bit. Did the vendor/source you bought it from not know which species it was?

Oh wait nvm... You're asking if it's specifically the 20K Lokani... With it being on that mari disc it's hard to say whether it's the Tyree 20K Lokani or not... Chances are it's a wild species with a similar coloration.

You can comb DD and find pieces that look like the true Hawkins Echinata and or Ice Fire Echinata, with them being plucked from the ocean without direct aquaculture lineage, I would personally just call them a wild Echinata. At any rate, you could still call it by the "named" look alike and be just fine.
