IS THIS A TORT AND IF SO WHICH ONE. NOT BIG INTO SPS AND WISH I WAS, BUT THIS SEEMS TO B THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES GREAT BESIDES MY MONTIS

Not an SPS expert by any means, but it does resemble the pics of the torts I have seen before, but like I said, I am no expert. They will chime in soon.......

Here's a picture of a tortuosa. I'm not sure if yours is one or not since the branches look a bit thin. But a nice piece nontheless

Acropora Tortuosa

It might be a tort, but not as "full-bodied" as many look. So either a tort who's grown in potentially less than ideal conditions, or a bottlebrush that's doing the same. Not trying to say bad things about your tank, but if it's one of the few that does good, I'm guessing there's something about your tank that's less than ideal for them.

Hopefully one of the SPS nutters will step in with a better answer (SDGuy, where are ya?)

this may be true, but i dont get why it still looks good and everything else does bad

Does look a lot like my spindly cali tort, growing in the back of my tank.

I agree that it resembles a tort BUT also reminds me of a type of echinata.

Looks like a tort to me but hard to tell which one... I have the miyagi, Oregon,Ora ice, and Cali and they almost look
Identical lol... Very slight color variations is all I can notice honestly..

If i'm not mistaken I see a green coloration trying to come up near the base in yours... but either way it does look like a tort imo!... this is my cali blue tort!!

.. .. and flash shot! fwiw
