    Thanks!! I agree on the millipora! This one was so bleached, I didn't think it will recover but it is the one that got better faster than any other acros I have.

    I googled "Marshall Island Acropora" and came up with this: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/7947/product.web , but this doesn't look like mine... mine has small shelves like you see mushrooms building shelfs on and around a tree trunk. I'll try to capture this in more detail next time I take pics... probably around the 15th... that would be 1 week... although, at the rate they're recovering I should probably update pics every 1 month instead. Do you have a picture of the one you have/had by any chance?

    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks!! It wasn't. I got it from somebody as a xenia tree, but it is in fact a colt coral. I googled images and if you find purple colt coral, it's a spot on match! :)

    Just updated the text to say "Colt coral" instead of "xenia tree"

    man.... I love this site. I learn a lot from here... if only I could retain it all! That would be nice :)

    Help on unidentified corals is still appreciated!
