Hey guys!

Man,I forgot about my SPS addiction back in 07'-08' I was looking at some old SPS pictures,and I found this one,I have it labled as a Imperal Tri Color,but obviously it isnt.

I currently no longer have this piece,but I would still like a ID on it,the base was a nice cream green color,with BRIGHT purple blue polyps!I loved the piece,and it grew moderataly under the 10k lighting.

So does anyone have a idea as to what it's named "name" is?

BTW-Sorry for the awful picture quality,this was before I had a DSLR,I was using the old Sony Cybershot!haha!

Thanks,
Austin

I may be wrong, but doesn't it look like the ORA german blue polyp acro?

I was going to say the same,but im not 100 percent sure.

The tips of the coralites are not rounded enough.

Probably A. Nasuta.

Very nice looking coral, I love the high contrast pieces like that.

 

[myzislow]

I agree, probably a "limeade" type nasuta; similar to the old school reefer madness nasuta

I had thought it might be the German Blue Polyp aswell, but I dont ever remember buying it, however, when I got this piece, was around the time that ORA had some of this piece more avail.

Did ATL have a Purple Limade Nasuta by chance?

looks like my upscales microcladus fwiw.... mine looked like that when i first got... rr grape juice would be my second thought...

 

[clowns101]

Hmm,interesting,Im not sure now!Lots of options as to what it could be...

 

[Troylee]

the more i look at it im leaning more towards the reef ready grape juice.... nice piece i just got one last week in a trade/...

 

[clowns101]

Nice!I deffinently want to get more of it...it was really nice piece!

 

[Sea MunnKey]

I'm not good ID'ng but we do get Indo's with blue polyps and the base is almost like a bleached out color too!

[clowns101]

Yeah,its a nice piece!I really want to get it agaiN!

 

[myzislow]

Without knowing exactly who or where you got it from it's obv only speculation. For a scientific ID it's more than likely A. Nasuta. As far as a designer name, any of the corals listed so far in this thread will give pretty much give you the color combo shown in your pic.

 

[secretreefer]

might wanna look at this.

Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den - Acropora nasuta

 

[clowns101]
