Help with getting an ID please

[edawq]

Hey team I got an acro a little while back. LFS only had it labelled as acro, so it'd be cool if it could be narrowed down.

Use a powerhead or baster to blow the polyps back into the coral so we can see the shape of the skeleton and coralites.

@Pedoconfuego does that help?

One day it'll get an ID but until then my partner calls it the Green Orangutan

Yea but you still need to get it to retract the polyps before the picture.

Give the rock its on a few taps to retract the polyps.

As long as these aren't growth abnormalities
this trait I circled is pretty much limited to one species of Acropora....

I'd call it "Woolly Mammoth".

I'd call it "Woolly Mammoth".

Some vendors call this species "boo berry" or "cookie monster"
I believe its a sarmentosa

I'll try get a better picture today once the lights are on.

It really doesn't want to retract those polyps. I had to lift it out of the water to get it to this point haha.

I agree, sarmentosa, love that coral. Awesome pink red tips when it’s happy and even though it’s not rare it is really unique. Nice pull finding those little branches in the middle out of all those polyps eymann. Crazy polyp extension on that thing op.
