Acropora Solitaryensis Info

[Daniel072]

Hi, I have been in the hobby for quite some time and have been lurking on Reef Central for years. I thought this was a good time to start posting. Below is a pic of a coral I purchased as a $500 Efflo but has since been identified as an Acropora Solitaryensis. The only problem is that I can't find any info on the coral at all. There are a few things here and there but what I would really like to know is: How rare is the coral? Is the green hue with purple tips normal? (from the pictures I've found, most of them are fairly brown) Is this what one would consider a "higher end" coral? Thank you guys so much for the responses in advance.

Here's mine from a while ago. It's bigger now about 16". I had a salinity crack and it burnt its tips, but it's all colouring back up now.

I have another 10" one which is more purple and less green.

We see it a lot in UK.

That's a great looking piece!

Thanks. It was completely brown when I got it.
It lost some colour recently, when I accidentally crashed my salinity.

Those nice tips got all burnt and the green turned a slightly browner green.
The tips are back now. Another few weeks and hopefully it will be tip top again.
