Name that coral

[Daddy-o]

I have had the Acro on the left for a couple years. I have no idea what it is. I know for sure it is not one of the new crazy named corals but something more "old school" Anyone know what it might be?

Strawberry Shortcake?

Sure I will play, looks like a pc rainbow in medium light

Hard to tell with so much blue but maybe pc Superman.

But what about the PC R right in front of it?


Looks like RP or maybe WWC Heartbreaker variant.

With the tips not actually blue like the first pic, my guess is red planet.

Looks like red planet or similar to me

Thanks everyone! Thats what we will call it then. I do have a couple Red Planets and they look a bit different.

Compare it to christmas mirabilis, RP and CM can look very similar.

Looks like an ORA Red Planet to me!

Red planet in higher lighting due to the green coming through so prominent.

 

[RVA REEF]

red planet with nice coloration

I have always found the green goes away from these kinds of coral and they turn all pink in high light.

I've always noticed the opposite ;Pompus

Gorgeous colors under blues. Super nice to look at.

I have heard others say that as well. Many a debate even on R2R about this. Maybe there is more to it than light intensity, like spectrum. Maybe nutrient levels or anything that might increase or decrease the concentration of zooxanthellae cells. Red planet seems perfect for a grow out contest.
