Joe's rainbow Acro scientific name ID

[hybridazn]

As the title states, anyone have a idea on what species of acropora it is? Possibly cerealis? Any thoughts?


Thanks everyone!

His 220 cracked on him, so it's going to be a while before he can offer these again:(

Whose tank? I'm confused. Lol

 

[Salty1962]

Sorry, Joe's tank that holds most of his corals. He had a busy week:(

Aw man, the tank right inside the front door?

 

[Salty1962]

I believe so.

I'm curious too. Mine needs more coloring but maybe this will help with ID....

 

[Salty1962]

I'm looking for a frag of it if anyone is fragging.

It's a gemmifera. They lose some of their chunky fingering structure in captivity and take on a more branchy appearance unless you absolutely blast them with light and flow.

Good to know. I always wondered why mine looked so branchy. I think that pic posted is the original tyree pic. I always wondered if mine was underlit. Its always had a pretty green base, was wondering if it was every going to lighten, although the new growth looks a lot lighter as you can see in the branches coming out of the background.

Mine turned into a green blob and grows so slow, if anyone has any good suggestions on flow and par please lmk

I betcha "Joe Knows Cameras Too". Find someone who has a good camera and knows the tricks and he might be able to turn your "green blob" into something special...

Lol tryd, theres no way around it. Just a real nice green with purple tips and some red polyps. For all the people i know beside crt, it grows super slow, you can achieve atleast somewhat the same colors above if you can get it to grow fast

Joe may know some ways with the camera, it's his business, but I know that with him what you see is what you get. No photo shopping or tricks.

Here is a pic of mine from a while back, shot in raw with a tamron 90mm macro no post editing

 

[fishbrain]

Based on the first pic I would guess acropora nasuta, just a guess.

 

[rovster]

My pic has no post editing, JPG straight out the camera....:confused:

Here is a macro pic of a frag I made, it definitely prefers high light to make all of the colors pop.

Lighting is eight T5 bulbs and an Ecoxotic magenta LED strip.
