jadams7 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Alright SPS experts...I have had little luck IDing these. Both the purple with white polyps (bottom left) and the presumed acro in the middle. The acro is oddly porous. Any guesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteRock Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Looks exactly like the purple acro I fragged and sold. Looks like it grows the same sporadic wild way too. I think I had got mine from Danik, Sorry I can't offer a name though. Never thought I'd sell a coral because it got so big but alas it had to go. No clue on the other cool looking monti looking bit.

Emerald525 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm not sure but it looks like the Westside Rainbow. (From Tim's shop) It was a fast grower for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwickm Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Purple Nana? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteRock Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Def not a purple nana imo based on growth pattern and the fact I have a huge purple nana colony, but I think Kim may be right with the west side rainbow id. Any idea who you got it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteRock Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 My purple nana looks like: Where as the similar piece I was referring to looked like: Crazy, weed like growth like I've never seen in an acro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadams7 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm not sure but it looks like the Westside Rainbow. (From Tim's shop) It was a fast grower for me too. Did Tim have a Westside Rainbow Acro? I have a piece of his Rainbow tort: Where as the similar piece I was referring to looked like: Crazy, weed like growth like I've never seen in an acro. It definitely looks very similar to that second picture of yours there. Do you recall if it was more 'porous' than most other acros? That was the odd thing about mine when looking at it was the texture. I do not recall where I got it from. It came in brown and it has been in pretty low light, and yes, growing like a weed too.

badxgillen Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have a similar acro, if not the same, and I laid it on its side for some pretty nice branching action, amazing growth pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteRock Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Can't say I ever noticed it being more porous than anything else. I did notice it was very fragile, so that may support the porous properties. Lemme know if you ever frag that rainbow tort, beautiful piece! :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What's the purple with white polyps? I want a frag.. It's white polyps have sweepers that extend and sway in the flow. Kinda like a flowerpot but thinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadams7 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for all the help everyone! Looks like we got one down...Rainbow Tortuosa Acropora looks to be pretty spot on: Now for the purple with white polyps...anyone have any guesses? Heres a couple more pictures that may show a bit more detail: In the background here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
