Man thats tough!

Its still basically a frag and it doesnt look like its colored up in your tank yet. Still early but it doesnt seem to be a tabling type of acro...Divaricata, Aculeus, Carolinian...just going by some pics I have. Could be wrong good luck.

Hey question: I think I may have found a couple of ideas- or at least a place where u can id it yourself---but I am still unsure if I am allowed to post another site on here- can you let me know if you don't mind getting a personal msg- and I will send the link to you if you'd like.
It was pretty informative w/pics. Helped me out. Thanks.
(or let me know if I am allowed to advertise it here-I don't want to be 'deleted') Thanks

Great Thanks!
I use the google image when I try to find something- I get better results when I see a picture -
I went to Garrett's Acropolis
It has a link on the home page under acropora- there are alot of pics. Looks like it could be an acropora batunai -or- acropora subulata--- but I don't have the experience to guess it out. Hope it helps. (maybe you can email their site a picture of yours and have them tell u what they think...just for your own peace of mind) In any case- it's a very pretty piece.
