    thanks for the ID. both the unknown corals came on some lr a long time ago, long story behind them. i have no idea what kind of acro the other one is. but i was thinking favia as well on the last one.


    i know that the rock they came from was right from the florida reefs to my tank uncured. I believe the acro was only in a planulae stage when i received it. took about 8 months be for any skeletal structure was visible. which follows along with the info i gathered on pocilliapora larvae to adult growth. if any one has info on this subject i would love to have you check out my pics to see if this acro was indeed grown in captivity(my tank) from a post larvae stage.
    i have many pics of this acro as it has grown from tiny spec to how it is now. in the past 1.5 yrs.


    thank you.

    full front. u can see im still in need of fragging some lps corals . cause some just cant handle the light/flow and i dont have enough room behind my aquascaping for them all. and my local web site has been off line so trading corals locally has been stand still.

    brain, this coral and almost any lps in my tank only does well behind or under the rock over hangs.

    night time with flash, fuzzy green stag. i am really glad this coral kept its orange tips and deep color, it looks this fuzzy all day long! its grown alot on the tips and 2 new branches started, but it only just started to encrust the base.

    Ordered my Deer Creek and Alpine Valley tickets! Oh wait, wrong thread. My bad.

    Seriously though, I like your aquascaping and your corals look great.
