Unidentified Acropora Table. (Acropora sp.)

Acropora sp., Just added to display. Picture taken September 2006, Nikon D70 Digital SLR, Sigma 105mm macro lens This is an unidentified species of acropora which is expected to grow in a table shape. This was provided to me as a free coral in replacement for a previous order issue with an on-line vendor. I’m not even sure what color it will be.

Acropora sp., Growing well 5 months later. Picture taken February 2007, Nikon D70 Digital SLR, Sigma 105mm macro lens This coral has more than tripled in size over the past 5 months. It is approximately 4 inches tall and 2 inches wide. Nothing significant with its colors but it is very healthy looking.

It has grown half a table so far. Very healthy looking but not the most colorful coral when viewed from the front. However, it looks nice when viewed from above (see next picture).
