    Well, I bought this acro from our LFS for 35 bucks, thinking it was some form of tabling acro. Was I right? Or did this gamble totally screw me? LOL

    Nice add man, I'm hoping it thrives in your setup. I might go back and snag the blue if he gives it to me for $35.

    I think you should, closest I could of the piece you wanted find was on for 69.99 on liveaquaria for a 2.5" piece. I couldn't even find this stuff online, so now I'm worried LOL

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Probably wrong, but it looks similar to a Acropora Enchinata. What color is it?

    I do not think it is a tabling acropora, could be wrong about that too.....

    It does look a lot like that, thanks Corailline! It is basically flourecent green with some light blue hints to it. I thought table acro due to this

    Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Acropora caroliniana

    Looks nearly the same, a little less intense green, but same skeletal structure.

    It could very well be that too.

    The blue shade makes me think, Enchinata though. Do you know if it is a wild piece or aquacultured?

    I honestly don't, it came from the most shady LFS in our area, but the price was too good to pass up, and it had just come in, or it would have been dead there. LOL
