Just wanted to know what to refer these corals as, because I do not know. Please give me your opinions and/or guesses.

If you had to guess what would your guess be? I think it is Acropora prostrata. It looks kind of millipora-ish but the branches are a little different. I am by no means an expert coral IDer.

Where did you get it? What did they call it?

Thanks Scott for the opinion. I guess I can start calling it a prostrata. I got it from a local reefer here approximately 6 months ago. it has been in the back of the tank up high behind other corals. It was browned out. It didn't start coloring up until like 2 months ago. He thought it was A. milliepora, but I thought it was prostrata also. Thanks again for the second opinion.

It is pretty coral. that is my Id
However the species name is Acropora prostrata
The polyps are different from A. milliepora
however just be sure I thingk you need to frag it and send me a (big) piece. I still won't be sure, but I will have a big piece

No problem Nathan, next time you make it to Biloxi, MS from D.C., give me a call.

You can bring me something nice too.

Joking aside I would love to trade some stuff guy in MS
We have 2 large clubs here with hundreds of members but we have traded so much that we all have a lot of the same stuff. I would love to widen my gene pool by trading with you all.

I will post some stuff on here in a few days and you tell me what you want I will frag it and get it stable then ship it for trade.

Nathan,

That would be definitely cool. I am all for trading. Let me know if you see something you like in my gallery, and I will do the same. Just notify each other via private message. We should trade at least a couple of frags to make the shipping worthwhile. Talk to you soon.
