Ora acro Id?

[Caseyoidae]

got a deal on this one. Guy said it was a stylo at petco lol

I do not see a Stylo I see an Acro, but could definitely still be a stylo. Once the coral starts showing some PE it will be easier to ID.

Thanks, Definitely an acro, I'm leaning towards one of the Indonesian purples. The polyps are green. May have to wait a month for it to color up. Just wondering if anyone could tell from growth form

 

[Ron Popeil]

what color is the plug?

 

[Caseyoidae]

Black

 

[Ron Popeil]

black plug means it came directly from the ORA facility in florida.

to me the growth looks like it could be tricolor valida.

after a week or two in your system take another picture, it should get easier to identify.

 

[Caseyoidae]

Thanks! leaning toward that or one of the microneisan purples. I think you nailed it!

 

[Caseyoidae]

Getting closer

 

[Caseyoidae]

The past few weeks it has turned and stayed very green, any ideas lol

Might be green planet. They have so many different acros though, hard to tell so far.

 

[Caseyoidae]

Thanks, I'm leaning toward that one but I think it's still kinda early too. Branch growth kinda resembles a table but the coralite structures aren't there yet

 

[BoomCorals]

Yea greenplanet is a stretch based on the current structure.

 

[Caseyoidae]

What do you guys think on these two? The blue one came from petco and the purple one resembles one I saw on the Ora website but it came from a local

 

[DSC reef]

The purple resembles the Miami orchid

Thanks!
