Pretty Stick Thingy?

Any ideas on what flavor of Acro this is? I can't figure it out, its got an odd growth pattern. I thought insignis but radial corralites are not widely spaced, they're close together. It's blueberry colored with green polyps, but I know that's not a lot of help. Any clues?

A. tenuis ? Better send a frag over for closer inspection!

Thanks Shawn, I guess that is it, I at least found a picture that matches what I have that is labeled tenuis. Not the right colors, but the shape looks the same. I guess it is just too small to hardly look like what it should

It sure is pretty though, I picked this and a loripes up from Rich that I really like. He really has some wonderful pieces right now.

It looks very similiar to a. tenuis, but it looks more like a vermiculata to me.

I think it's really a nice looking, now if it will just keep that color for me, I'd be REAL happy.

And I'd go with Xster's answer because I can pronounce Vermiculata, but I don't know how your pronounce tenuis

I'll give ya the redneck (mine) breakdown of tenuis.
