Your Favorites - Coral Master Frag pix

[Snappy]

Wayne I really appreciate you sharing these pictures however in a different system and especially with such different light "reticulet evolution" really kicks in and makes corals very hard to ID. I will take my best crack at it but there are some that I look at and think "did he really get that from me?" because they look completely different and there were a few that you got frags of that I later lost to RTN. But anyway here goes....

A. Fastigata


Fiji Blue Polyp


CM Bonsia


Acropora Gomezi



A.Verweyi


Possibly A Exquisita but it will need to grow out more to make a positive ID. The corallite structure doesn't really appear to be settled yet so once it starts really branching we should be able to get a better idea.

I suspect it's A.Selago but if you can provide more of a top down shot the different angle would help me to ID with more confidence.

Hi Greg,
Thank you for trying... You got a point... Diff system and lights can make corals grow differently making it hard to compare. On the first pic it is the greenish and cream colour piece with blue hint tips.
The fourth one is green and purple with yellow tips and blue polyps.
The last one is green and Has hints of light orange or red and cream and yellow it likes like a table acro...
I'll pm you a list of all the corals I've purchased less the last order. I've kept the bags.

Great that should make it easier since I always write the ID on the bag of each coral sent, glad you saved them.

Ok Wayne I have gone over your pix again and made some corrections with my best guesses. If you have some pictures of others on the list you sent me I would love to see them too.

The color is way different but I think this might be
SECALE

GRANULOSA


looks to be A VERMICULATA


DESALWII


Not sure on this one but I lke it


Thanks!

Thanks for sharing Wayne, I did my best for ID's but some of them look completely different (some better) in your system. That desalwii is off the hook!

Here's a few Coral Master frags I picked up Dec 2010...





Had only 1 casulty, Acropora Lovelli, here's a couple of them mounted in the tank

Acropora Formosa


Blue Acropora Humilis


Acropora Florida & Acropora Tenuis


Orange Monti


And here they are now, have been dosing alk, Ca & Mg since Jan 2012

A. Formosa, finally starting to grow


A. Humilis, needs to color up a bit


A. Florida & A. Tenuis, these 2 haven't done much


Monti, a monster. Is this a scrolling monti?


Acropora Microphthalma (Frost Polyp),doing quite well. 2nd pic shows were I first had him, starting to grow into a new coral.
