Pic of my Favourite
 

This is definately my favourite piece. Super fast grower, great colour.. And to think, I lost nearly 1/3 of it in the little crash.. The blue stag in the bottom right is coming along nicely too!

Any idea of an ID? It looks like a staghorn but I've never seen of a yellow staghorn before, very cool!

omg thats one nice piece
best acro i've seen

Adam, if you like it so much, I can sell you some frags of it!! :lol:

It has recovered well from the wine "incident"!!

Hey Adam, That is a killer piece. Good pic too!! I have a hell of a time capturing a good shot of mine. Hey are you able to get purple polyps on it?

Adam, that's a great piece and a better shot, you must have hid that one in the closet when I was by in the summer :eek:

I also like that really bright :cool: look'n coral just above it :razz: :mrgreen:

thanks guys..

Brad, I actually made a frag off mine already..

Jamie, it has puple polyps for the first cm after each axial corallite. Pretty cool.. Wish I could capture that.. I'll try zooming in!

I wonder if Marc still has the massive mother colony of this..

Nice piece adam. I had that piece too and could only see purple poylps on the ends too.

It's a beauty coral definatly one of my favorites.

Very nice! I'll have to find me some of that one day :cool:

Heres Mommy....(if it works) :mrgreen: http://www.islandreef.ca/post/marc.jpg

Any ideas of an ID of it? :smile:

Marc, I fixed that for you. Also, convert pics to .jpg, .bmp are huge.

I think it's a green acro. Just a guess though... :cool:

You think :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: Real helpful as usual, Brad!! :razz: LOL

:cry:

Well, you know that's the best answer you're gonna get. So this time, in fact, it is a helpful answer. You're welcome!!

Now now Brad, I was jesting. Notice the " :razz: " ? :wink:

But as for the ID, not even an educated guess? My guess is A. yongei? It kind of looks like what people call A. yongei anyways and I was kind of curious if anyone else shared that opinion.

Whatever it is, it's nice.

I'm calm Tony, no worries! No, it isn't yongei, as I have one of those to compare it with. I've rarely ever cared about species, because I know that it's just a 1 in 400 guess almost all of the time. Maybe marc has a guess?

looks a bit like this:

http://whelk.aims.gov.au/coralsearch...20pages/78.htm

looks amazing. Where can I buy one :)

It also looks like 50 others on that page, and those pics are wild growth forms. I'm still the closest...green acro!

i want a frag too
=o(

Why the sad face, Jamie?

I'm with you on this one :smile:

Perhaps it's an Acropora greenosis? :razz:

Acropora niceandgreenandtonyreallywantsonetoosowantstoknoww hattoaskforatthestorei?

Brad, I have looked over that site many times and that's definately the closest match.. Might not be right, but it's close!

tony, ask for a green acro :razz:

You guys are funny but really green acro is the best description. I don't even bother with ID's either.

Using colours is how I describe the tricky ones. :lol:

Adam, you could very well be exactly right. The problem is we'll never know. Unless you want to bleach one and send the skeleton to Borneman for ID.

jpg....bmp....omg....stfu..lol...j/k...


rotflmao!

Brad...i had to burst brain cells just to get them onto webspace then here...one day ill get one of you guys to show me this stuff.. :eek:

Marc, just email me the pics, I'll post 'em for ya!! Don't hurt yer head over it!! :razz:

jamies sad face was cuz i lost her in the move...i got a 16" round sketeton now..... :cry:

owell soon ill be beggin for babies...Thanks Brad

Ah. Let me know when you need some, I have few babies growing out now.

what color is it with just 10000K lights Adam?

Steve

Adam, I'm not always able to get the purple polyps,but when it's happy they'll show up on the axial polyps and the first few radial's.

Steve, In my tank that coral is a wicked yellow no matter what light it's under.

When I first saw that coral in Marc's tank I thought it was the wickedest coral. Never mind the color it was wicked huge too.

Marc get that tank going buddy so you can grow that bad boy to it's former glory.

Cool.

Steve
