mcarroll Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 With its current shape it looks more like a Montipora. 🤷♂️ Compare with this M. confuse pic from Top Shelf: Still might be an Acro....just interesting how similar it is at the moment. Quote Link to comment

The guy I bought it from did say it was some kind of Acro. I guess time will tell as it grows 😬 Quote Link to comment
ml86743 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I'm just not seeing the "bumpiness" of a montipora, looks pretty smooth to me and the way the corallites are distributed my money is on the acro. I also know they certain acros, bonsai included, have a tendency to encrust before showing signs of upward growth. You can see how it encrusts in this image. 1 Quote Link to comment
