    The attached picture came hitched to a acro frag I had bought a while back. There was one or two small branches I had broke off and glued to the rock. It since has grown to this in about six months or so. Any ideas? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1355191120.759469.jpg

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Maybe Acropora echinata, does it have blue tips? Maybe Acropora speciosa.

    Looks to be a deeper water acropora.

    Nice piece, congrats on making it happy.

    It does have blue tips. The stalk (for lack of a better term) is purple and white stripes.

    Thanks. It seems to be leaning toward one of my favorites.

    Believe it is Acropora Speciosa. Found this pic online. Pretty sure that's it. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1355193124.358637.jpg
