SPS ID help needed. (1 Viewer)

This was a coral I photographed a few years back in Australia. It appears to be two coral that do not compete... the right one is clearly some sort of Acropora but I haven't found any with a similar color and growth.

I have no idea what the left is.

 

[RSnodgrass]

Acropora abrotanoids is the only ID I've found similar to the blue acro but I've found zero similar colors online and the colony shape often appears different.

 

[Fishfoo]

Yeah looks like a type of abrotanoids

 

[Fishfoo]

The left could possibly still be abrotanoids encrustment that has encrusted over the skeleton of a dead acropora or other coral

My guess for the left one would be some sort of pink pocillopora. Attached is a picture of the pink pocillopora I just randomly stole online (not sure if I'm allowed to post it here ). Some have rounder tips and some don't.

 

[RSnodgrass]

Perhaps Pocillopora verrucosa

 

[ArcKatana]

Was just going to say Pocillipora of some kind.

 

[RSnodgrass]

My best guess for the one on the right...

Acropora gemmifera​

 

[RSnodgrass]

The pic on top of the acro is an accurate one but I think the coralites are different. The bottom identical one could easily be a miss label by the seller.

 

[RSnodgrass]

Nope definitely a Acropora gemmifera.
