New and wanting some guidance

lluviamagenta · Aug 9, 2019

Hello everyone, my name is Mayra and Im reaching out to your community for help.

I work with coral research but mostly with Caribbean corals. Recently someone gave me a bunch of indo pacific Acropora that I have no clue onto what their species are or even their common names.

Could you point me to a guide for identification? or could I post the photos with the chance of getting the common names?

thank you!

Welcome to R2R and thank you for what you do with coral research! You are welcome to post pictures for ID although if you have a bunch you may want to add the pictures in a new thread in the coral sub-forum (and a link to it here). We’re glad you’re here!
