blindside Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 is it not acropora tortuosa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 The guy I got it from didn't know what it was. It's not deep blue like an Oregon Tort, and it doesn't have green like a Cali Tort. It's more of a baby blue almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindside Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 doesnt have to be deep blue to be the oregon tort, a lot of corals look different in other peoples tanks, I myself have 2 different oregon blue torts with 2 different shades of blue, one is really light and the other is a really dark blue. In the pic that you posted above the growth resembles that of a tort in my opinion, I could be wrong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 If it is an Oregon, I got a steal on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 My first reaction was a blue cali A. tortusa. It looks like it the picture was taken with just actinic lights, is it just the way the picture came out or are you running the tank real blue?

Juiceman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's under 20k ish LED's so I have a hard time getting decent pictures with accurate color. I have a Cali Tort also and this does not have the same coloration under the same lights. My first reaction was a blue cali A. tortusa. It looks like it the picture was taken with just actinic lights, is it just the way the picture came out or are you running the tank real blue?

FarmerTy Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah, my first reaction was a cali tort as well but it's hard to tell with the bluer cast on it from the picture. I thought you only had the actinics on so I was going to ask you to take a picture with regular lighting. I heard LED is hard to photograph but I have no experience with it. Coloration would take awhile to match if its a newly acquired piece... and I'll have frags of the same coral in different places in my tank look totally different. So... final answer.. I don't know what it is. Sorry! Haha. -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Zeovit mod's said its a Acropora gomezi. I wonder if there's a street name for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
