A. elegans?

A frag I got from an LFS. I think it's the same coral as the one above.

A. caroliniana? This one is blue tipped.

This is my favorite right now. Same growth form as above, but much nicer colors.

I'd say yes on the abro, but no on the elegans. Nice pics and pieces.
 
I'd guess you've got at least one lokani there, probably 2. Abro is correct and typical coloration for those guys. The rest I'd have to do a bit of research on.
 
Thanks guys. I thought the 'caroliniana's' might be lokani's.

The first pic (and frag in second pic) grows flat, fusing branches. elegans was the closest I saw that I thought was close to it, but what are some other flat smooth fusing acro forms? I'll thumb through CotW again and see if something else strikes me.
 
I'd tend to agree that they are all lokanis as well. As for the elegan, all the ones I have seen grow even more flat and thinner than what has been pictured. Time might only tell once it adjusts to captivity. If the 2nd and 1st are the same, its most likely a lokani as well.

Nice pick ups :)
 
It isn't really flat, is it... #1 and 2 look a little different than the others, but they are also smaller (even the mother that the frag came from). I guess I need some more growth to see what they do.
