Help with ID's

CAreefer · 01-27-2003, 12:39 AM

Have a few new additions, and frankly haven't been spending much time in the last year or so with my tank or on the board. But I'm back and got the bug again. How about some I.D.'s on the 4 new additions. Here are some pics.
Thanks.

Hi CAreefer

first one definately looks to be like Pocillapora sp.
second one probably Montipora digitata
third one maybe Acropora Millepora
fourth one Im not sure maybe A. Loripes or A. Granulosa

They look to be some type of sps corals probably from the ocean send them to me and I will try to get a better id on them.

I will guess the first one is Pocillopora damicornis
The second one is Montipora digitata
The last two are Acropora sp. (the best way to identify Acropora sp. is by getting Veron's "Corals Of The World" 3 book set and guessing yourself

HTH,
Kevin
