    Hello All,

    I got this Acro as a small frag and over the last year it has grown into a tabling structure. I really like the coral and want to get another but cannot seem to nail down the exact variety. Under T5 it is cream with purple tips. Under halide it is green with blue tips.

    Could it be this? I got it from a local guy here and can get the name if you think it's the same. First pic if the frag, second is about 6 months in my tank.

    ignore the filename, it's NOT a purple Torq)

    Maybe, but it appears to have different coralites.

    Good growth regardless:)

    Yes, simply frag a little and then you will have another colony forming in no time.
