I am responsible for the records and catalogue for what goes in our system. Between a change in cell phones and a few no names that ended up being rather lovely there are a few guys SPS that are favorites who's names I am not sure of. I have take al of these with my orange filter to try and get as close as i can to how they look without the blues on, so some of the things that have a lot of blue to them look a bit pale. All of these SPS have been in our tank for a very long time and as quite established.
The first one is in a similar family to the hawkins enchinata, though I believe this specimen comes from a different area. Indonesia is think. His name was "Exquisite" something, or "Exquistor" something like that. He has a beautiful teal color, rather than the darker blue of the hawkins as well as very thick branches.
The next one is an acro that was given to us as a no name. He wasnt doing well in the original tank so we took him in to see what we could make happen. He is always very pale, almost white but grows incredibly well. His tips glow very bright green in the evening as the lights fall. Also unlike most of our other acros he has a very intense sting.
Next is a personal favorite. He is a smooth skin acro with bulbous tips. His skin is pale to light blue and his tips are ultramarine blue. This one cam in as a no name freebie from a larger order. He is stunningly beautiful and people ask for frags of him often, so I would like to have a name to be able to give them. I have thus far been referring him as "smooth skin bubble" for lack of anything official.
And finally this piece came in as a freebie no name in a bigger order as well but has become rather interesting. He encrusts quite a bit, while also developing the normal branches like an acro. He is light green and teal and his texture is very strange seeming to be covered in small smooth bubbles.
Any assistance is incredibly welcome!
