Coral ID

[mrhasan]

Its yellow with slight hint of blue tip. Don't really know the name and hence can't determine the requirement.

Thanks :)

LOL,... love playing that game...

But it looks like a nice one if it is really yellow. Is the colour correct with your WB? And where did you get it?

Yap I adjusted the color to daylight with WB (my lights are around 15k so had the WB at 15k) and its actually yellow (well atleast for now :P) with slight hint of blue at the tips. Got it from concept on boxing day sale. They had two of this.

Have you tried a manual WB using the sand bed or something else white in your tank to register it? I found that gives the best actual colour.

Definitely a nice piece, though. Have you tried finding a match on the internet?

Haven't tried the sandbed test yet. My camera's manual WB can be set only upto 10k or something so I always end up adjusting it with photoshop. Would have to see how sandbed looks with PS adjustment. Thanks for the idea :D

The closest I could find is this:

Don't think so. Acropora Yongei looks more like a green slimer, but with blue tips. Yours looks a lot less fuzzy.

Yah noticed that after posting :redface: I am keeping it at high light for now and see what happens. I will put some fancy name later :razz:

[Reef Pilot]

Any resemblance to this? Has blue tips and light colored base.

The structure does look similar to the one I have.

Here's another pic, showing the base color a bit better.

Been trying to ID this one for a while. Closest I found was this frag Mad Jelly was selling a while back. They called it an Ice Fields Tenuis.

The first answer was right. It's an acro. That's probably as close as you're going to accurately get. It needs high light. All acros need high light. Barring the deep water acros, which have a distinct look. Which, BTW, I also keep in high light. :)

Ya my deep waters seem to like high light

They're simply adapted to not needing high light, but they still do well in high light. I find the colors pop better too.
I'd say, with few exceptions, any coral available in the trade will do well in high light once acclimatized to it.

Tenius has a more closer growth pattern than the one I have so I don't think its tenius But then again I might be wrong.

I heard that some deep waters (like red dragon) gets pale color if kept in higher light but they like high blue light so my logic said high up in blue light = great color but high up in daylight = pale color. Is it? Also heard that bonsai should be kept in medium light for brighter colors. Placements always confuse me.

I've got 3 pieces of bonsai, one on the bottom on a frag disk, one 10" up and one within 4" of the surface. They all look the same

They were under led until 2 days ago

Well, if you want to take pics of your tank and corals without all that purple and blue hue, you will have to learn what WB is...
