Caribbean Jake March 20, 2007 March 20, 2007 I look all over the internet for reference and information, but can't get an exact match of a comparable picture. I want to know the flow requirements, habits, feeding likes and so forth. Anyone out there in WAMAS has something similar ? Story behind the coral; Ok, I go into BRK (three weeks ago) and see this beautiful coral standing on the edge of an egg crate. I ask Johnny, what type of coral is that.. and he say. "It is a Jacquelineae SPS coral, and is not cheap". I love it so I brought it home and took two pictures, here they are. By the way, I am no photographer so what the camera did is what picture I got, no tricks or alterations on this picture. The first picture is without a flash, the second I used a flash. Thanks in advance.
dhoch March 20, 2007 March 20, 2007 Similar shape (probably the same species?) but different coloration than: http://www.danj.com/reef/corals_detail.php?coral_id=64 (I think leishman id'd this as a jacquelineae)... Dave I should add.. it didn't like high light in my tank and is currently in the sand bed of my T5 lit tank...(and doing very well)... slow grower compared to other corals though. Dave
Caribbean Jake March 20, 2007 Author March 20, 2007 thanks for the input. I have mine about 1/3 off the surface under 250W MH 10K USHIO, and I can see polyps extended. I keep it there next to the ORA Blue Tort I got from BRK few month ago for comparison on behavior and feeding schedules.
dbartco March 20, 2007 March 20, 2007 shiznit, put me in the beggars line have similar in yellow/green doing well high directly under the 400W, and high flow.
emissary March 20, 2007 March 20, 2007 I can definitely tell you exactly what that is, probably. Just drop a small frag by my house and I'll gladly give you a full analysis.
johnnybv March 21, 2007 March 21, 2007 darn IT !!!!! I wondered where that coral went! Looks like that coral is doing Really Really well. -Byron darn IT !!!!! I wondered where that coral went!

Armson March 21, 2007 March 21, 2007 Oh yeah !! I hate it when people post using other people's login. -Byron
Leishman March 21, 2007 March 21, 2007 Beautiful coral, but not an Acropora jacquelineae. Check the whelk/aims coralsearch (from the Australian Government) link below: Whelk link Add me to the frag list........ -Rik

Check the whelk/aims coralsearch (from the Australian Government) link below: Whelk link Add me to the frag list........ -Rik Thanks Rik, I went to that web site and that's what prompted this post. There are so many other Acro SPS that look much more than this rather than the Jacquelineae SPS. I put a list together and sent it to few WAMAS to compare, but I forgot to keep a copy of it. I will do a new research and post again with possible options.
Sugar Magnolia March 21, 2007 March 21, 2007 What a beautiful color! Looks like you'll have to start a list for frags...
Caribbean Jake March 21, 2007 Author March 21, 2007 Ok here are the possible SPS acroporas that may match this specie, and exhibit the same polyp pattern formation. It may be one of the following, and it may not be... I am using the following web site for comparison; http://www.meerwasser-lexikon.de/eng/95/0/...orals%20SPS.htm Batunai Echinata Graulosa Navini Plana Sarmentosa Tortuosa Turaki

HowardofNOVA March 23, 2007 March 23, 2007 Jacob, Can you take a picture from a different angle? Hard to see from this one, looks like Blue Popcorn Looks like the Acropora batunai?
dandy7200 March 23, 2007 March 23, 2007 shiznit, put me in the beggars line have similar in yellow/green doing well high directly under the 400W, and high flow. Doug can I be first on your frag list
Caribbean Jake March 23, 2007 Author March 23, 2007 Jacob, Can you take a picture from a different angle? Hard to see from this one, looks like Blue Popcorn Looks like the Acropora batunai? Howard I tried but I keep getting blurie images. It is best if you come and see it in person. LMK Jacob
