I really have now idea what type of acro this is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking. :bigsmile:

hmm looks like the elusive omgthatssexy acropora...lol seriously though that is really nice. Looks like the colors have been played with but if not that is even more impressive.

Very nice Jared. Its looks very similar to an A.austera that has tabled a bit. The Shawn Bennett tort (really an austera) does the same is some tanks.

Didn't mess with the colors at all in the photo. It is by far the bluest sps that I have. More blue the the Oregon Tort. Also, the polyps are more purple which didn't show up in the photo very well.

You can also tell by the green in the lower right. Is that the blueberry? or something like that?

Austera's a good guess, esp. with contrasting polyp colors. Mine is purple with blue polyps. Do you have a side-view shot or a close-up of the corallite structure?

Thanks Mark. I sent you a frag of this one in our last trade. I was thinking A. Austera at first as well. I'm not sure now. The branches are thinner than my Austera that I have. Here is a side profile shot of that one.

I will see if I can get a couple more pics.

Yep, that's the one I called the "blueberry acro".

When I saw the piece you sent me, that is what I was thinking it was. The branches on the one you sent me were a little more "pointed" than the atypical "rounded" tips that austera's usually show. I will take another look, but I am still leaning that way; for now ;)
