What sps is this
 

Just got this beautiful acro and I don't know the name so just wondering if any1 here knows what it is?

Yup, acropora :)

Im assuming he knows its an acro as he mentions it in the first post, Is there a specific name for it? Im curious myself

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

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.

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

try reef central they id acros better.

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

After googling tri colored nana it looks jus like it. Thanks man!

Yes, looks very much like the one I have which I just posted on a few days ago.

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.
