Name that Acro

[gogregerson]

I'm looking for the specific name of this Acro. Any suggestions?

Stag maybe?

my guess would be: Acropora nobilis. At least that is what they are common sold as but could be misidentification.

Try to get a close-up shot of a few branches. I'd say not A. nobilis since it is so filled in. Stags usually have fewer branches and are pretty spread out.

random unidentifiable acro number 4

I agree with Boker, not nobilis. Nobilis is arborescent in growth form, this is more corymbose. Glen, could you get a close up with the axial and radial polyps?

I'm going to be borrowing a better camera tonight.

Believe it or not this is the same coral. I'm still figuring out this camera. But any guesses as to what specific acro this is?

[gogregerson]

Looking around it isn't Acropora nobilis, any other ideas?

[Boker420]

If the branches are fairly thin it might be an A. selago well maybe but selago's are normally tri-colors. It's very similiar in form to A. tenuis but you don't see green ones very often.

[gogregerson]

When a coral is discribed as "Acropora sp." what does the "sp." stand for?

[Zibba]

sp. = species

can't help with the id though...good looking colony :)
