dhoch July 23, 2006 Share July 23, 2006 Ok, I'm looking for help iding the following SPS I just picked up: First up is a stylo or a pocillopora (leaning towards stylo) Next is this some kind of acro? I belive this is an acro but just want to be sure (great multi colors on it): Ok this next one I'm at a loss... please help: (two pics) Finally a blue tort or so I believe: Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman July 23, 2006 Share July 23, 2006 Dave, The first is a stylophora and the rest are all acroporas. As for the type of acros, I'll have to get back to you on those. Very nice pieces by the way!! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhoch July 23, 2006 Author Share July 23, 2006 Bob, Your help would be greatly appreciated, can make more pics if necessary... Thanks...(the biggest one has a little goby living in it as a bonus Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman July 23, 2006 Share July 23, 2006 Let me guess...the first acro colony pictured holds the fish? You may find that may not be a good thing. I just need to locate my books to help ID those acros...I'll keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhoch July 24, 2006 Author Share July 24, 2006 Yup... you are correct... He's really tiny (smaller than a guppy)... he's been in it since the coral was brought in... (and I bought it off another reefer (stank) who had it for a while)... didn't feel like removing him from his home... Why might that be a problem? Interested in what books you are refering too (might be interested in trying to aquire them myself). Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prunfarm July 24, 2006 Share July 24, 2006 I'm no SPS person, but pics 4 and 5 look similar to some deep water acros I've seen for sale at reefermadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhoch July 24, 2006 Author Share July 24, 2006 Yeah for #4 a deep water acro was something that was suggested.... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leishman July 24, 2006 Share July 24, 2006 1: Stylo 2: Looks like an A. Samoensis that has grown in low flow, hence the thiner branches. 3: Who gives a crap it's nice and I'm PO'd that I'm #2 in line for it! 4: A. Jacquelineae 5: Cali/ORA Tort But what do I know........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stank July 27, 2006 Share July 27, 2006 Dave, told ya #3 was something pretty special. Good luck with them and the goby has been fine and should be as long as you dont get a mate for it, they are bad for acros when they lay the eggs on them.
