Tabling Acro Names (1 Viewer)

[justin81]

I would like a couple of tabling acros but don't know the names and it's hard to tell if its tabling lookin at a frag. Does anyone have site that has names for them or how to know if it is branching or tabling?

I'm sure there are other sites with top lists or something but this is comprehensive.

A few online dealers have the "type" of acro listed on their site. Adam (Battlecorals) is one for instance. Adam has a number of nice tabling corals. I have TSA Bill Murray which tables. Other examples at WWC Heartbreaker, BC Aquaticman, and BC Bohemia. Even non-tabling corals may table if the flow hit them a certain way. Just really depends.

I also heard BRS is going to do a Frag vs Mother colony video series here as part of Ryan filling up his 360 office tank from WWC. It's exactly what I was hoping to see a month or so ago when I posted to ask if such a thing existed. I hope BRS extends that and does it for the corals they have in the 160 etc. I know it won't be exhaustive, but I think it would be a great start.

Thanks for the info!! The only one I knew for sure was ORA Red planet.

A fair amount will table in some form or another in all honesty. Millepora table for example but aren’t called tables. If at all possible, you could ask to see the mother colony for comparison to see the growth form from most reliable vendors.

This might help. But just latin names... no trade names.
