    So I got 2 new frags today from my LFS, 2 for $30 they were supposed to be, but the guy accidentally knocked off a piece so I got $5 off. I just glued the knocked off piece to some rubble and hope it grows lol. I know these are SPS of some sorts but I was wondering the real identifications :)

    1st one looks like some type of acro, not totally sure though. Maybe 2in10 can chime in and help ya out, he's always right on the money with coral IDs.

    I agree with #1 being an Acropora species though not sure which one, will need to see it grown out. #2 is an Acropora millepora. Congrats on the new adds and you did a good job with the frag.

    Thanks everyone! I have high hopes for the first frag as it has tinges of blue and green so it should looks pretty nice once it grows. ;D I'm glad I did the frag ok. I didn't just want to throw that piece out. I definitely caught the coral bug!! I just want more!
