It's always tough to ID acropora, there are close to 400 species and they all grow differently depending on many factors. I'm sure someone will have a good guess, but in my tank it would be the "blue acro with green base" :)

I couldn't tell you the name of more than 2 pieces in my tank. -lol

[Slyguy00]

Haha fair enough, good point

Haha I call it by color a lot too. But I woul love to know the actual name for it but not the scientific name those r always too hard to remember lol. This acro has green polyps as well and the top is more purple than blue. Quite a beauty

Its a purple bonsai, or a purple nana or a purple valida.

Google "purple valida" you'll get lots of hits. just my .02 cents.

[tang daddy]

not a bonsai, closer to valida and maybe a nana but who knows....

try reef central they id acros better.

[Poseidons Reef]

My vote would be Tri colour nana, looks very similar to mine

It is one of my most beautiful corals, with the dark green base and bright purple tips. I will soon have frags available of it.
