Our mission

Coral ID please

Hello.
Dunno if you guys know or not. But I’m horrible with coral names. Mostly because I don’t care. I just grow them. Well. We received a generous gift from @Gudhjem. He doesn’t have a name for it. This is what I know. It’s a staghorn, slimmer, brown body purple tips. Here are some pictures with lights off.
We will be fragging it and sharing it with members at the frag swap along with a purple stylo that @Gudhjem donated also.

I had huge colonies of myagi tort. They are green body with dark blue. At least I don’t think it is.
Under my lights. It’s a blush near 2” to the top with a purple hue at the tip. Only on some tho.

Lately I've been more interested in learning coral taxonomy rather than the razzle dazzle marketing name.
Same! It's a fun rabbit hole.
From searching, comparing the corallite structure and long branch thinness, I think it's an acropora loisetteae.

Excellent candidate and potential ID IMO
Definitely interested in a piece. The simpleness of brown with highlighted tips is something you see a lot of in the wild.
@Turkeysammich Sign me up for a piece. I'd like to see how it develops in my tank.

You would know way better that I would. But yes it’s definitely something you would see in the wild. It’s aquaculture too. He grew it from a frag for over 8 years.
