A.m.P Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Left looks to be garf bonsai, validia not a stag, right looks like a bleached garf bonsai but could be something else. I'm not the best at SPS Id, but those don't look like any of the acros usually referred to as "stags" (Formosa and some lookalikes like slimers [yongei]). Side note the pattern of stn on that setosa monti looks like it could be from MEN. Quote Link to comment
farkwar Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Maybe Garf acropora (valida) on the left 1 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 It’s hard to tell acropora frags growth form, unless you’ve seen the colonies they came from. my guess, neither are staghorn, either 2 or 3 top row. 3 Quote Link to comment
A.m.P Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Side note hyacinth are gorgeous, but hard to find outside aquacultured chunks. Also, with how common formosa are it stinks they aren't on that list. Quote Link to comment
Gore15 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Thank you for all the assist. The following photos are the colonies. The owner was saying these green and blue staghorns. Quote Link to comment
farkwar Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 This is what I think of as staghorn Without real pedigree, what I see are badly pruned browned out acropora valida. Browned garf bonsai. I could be wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment
