Squared Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 what kind of acro is this? looking for a sciency name?
PYA Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 It's a little too short to tell right now but I have frags of mille and a monti that both look like that. It would have to grow out to 2"+ to be more identifiable.
GokesReef Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Well it's almost definitely NOT an acro.. I'd say millepora.
Asureef Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Well it's almost definitely NOT an acro.. I'd say millepora. Millepora belongs in the genus Acropora, which makes it an acro. Unless, you're referring to the genus millepora, which I'm positive the OP doesn't have. PYA is right, the frag is much to small to make any ID's.
GokesReef Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Fair enough, you got me I assumed he was referring to the traditional tort, but I understand his comment now.
Squared Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 almost six months later and i've manage to get this frag to grow out a little more. is it ID-able now? my best guess right now is a blue-green tenius?
metrokat Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I'd say throw in some 2 part, if I had that frag it would be fraggable big by now.
Squared Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 i know right? been trying to avoid dosing for the sake of keeping a super low-maintenance tank, but that no longer seems possible, especially i want more sps anyways what do you think it is?
metrokat Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Don't kill me It'S an ACROPORA! okay okay. I can;t tell even now to be honest, could be a millie, could be a tenuis. It's still just too stubby to tell.
Squared Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 poops. but seriously it's just until now that i realize how slow this is growing. i can't believe it's been six months.
metrokat Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 IDK if the growth I see in my tank is normal. I've been dosing with BRS dosers only for a few months, before that my ALK and Calc swings were substantial so the tank did not see much in the way of stability.
