Default New Acropora (Blue)

so yesterday i went to J&L Aquatics, with the intentions to pick up a new SPS. i ended up picking one that showed some nice blue in the store. when i got it home and got it acclimated to the tank i was quite happy with the colour under my MH!

Normal pics (doesnt really show just how blue it is). i played with the white balance to tone down the blue







It looks like a mix between the first pictures and these pictures (the colour). this is taken with the "vibrant" setting on





ive barely had this piece in my tank and im already in love with it. im letting it chill on the substrate for a week or two until i feel that it is ready, then im giving it a primo spot up at the top of the tank.

Gorgeous piece. You're lucky you picked it up yesterday, since Marie probably would have snagged it today if you hadn't.

Nice piece looks a lot like my blue a. gomezie. It is also similar to a torte. Not up on my ID's but that might help.

Yah it does resemble more of a gomezi than a tort as torts are robust
