Hi all! I’m looking to become a little more familiar with some of the species of Acropora that I keep. So I was hoping I could get some help with identifying what I currently have. I did my best with the pictures but if you need new ones just let me know what would be helpful and I’ll do my best to get a better shot! Thanks!

Beautiful acros! The pics under the white light I love. Here are my best guesses. Sorry I didn’t get time to reply to this earlier this week.

1 - Millepora (I have one that looks just like the first pic from above and thought it looked a little odd for a mille but that’s my best guess)
2 - spathulata
3 - subulata
4 - secale
5 - secale
6 - austera
7 - nana
8 - not much to go on but I would guess something like a rosaria post an update when it grows some new branches
 
They look great. See if anyone is around tonight to help give names for all these.
Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate the help! I am still waiting on some of these to mature a bit but I wanted to get a better idea of what I was working with. This is a great start for me to do some research!
