I don't think so. Not sure what it is, close to this coral I had years ago.

Bottlebrush is a growth formation not an acroprid ID. I think it is a bottlebrush formation bt I'm stll not sure of the species.

whatever it is its SMOKING! my sister has a colony that is exactly like this one and we had been guessing around at what species it is just a couple of days ago. i called her and told her about this thread maybe she will post a pic. did you guys buy colonies or frags of this when you purchased it? im asking because i would like to figure out were they are coming in from.

BigBoy69s look more like A. navini. than A. turaki, which has longer coralites.

I think it is a Turaki. Page 429 of the coral bible. This is mine.

Steve,

I think I have the same maricultured coral. Literally identical to mine, except mine was a bit lighter in colour and has since darkened to that turqouise-green effect. I had put it down as A. lokani, as the corallites are too big and heavy for A. turaki, which should be a bit more delicate. As frags, the two can look literally identical in fotos. I have one frag that I thought was a fine A. turaki, but it is tableing and is most likely A. jacquelinae!

The more I see of this group, the clearer it becomes that the growth form is paramount in IDing. As frags, they can be very similar. Nice when one has a shot of the mother colony! :cool:
