Hi guy's,

Ive managed to get hold of what i think are a couple of really nice table acro's.Ive had the brown one a few weeks and the white bleached one amost two weeks i think.I bought them with the belief that they will become true stunners in the coming months but as a bit of fun what do you think they will become?
Here they are....

The white one is fixed in position but the brown one is not,so i have the option of moving that one.Im not sure i will keep it in that spot but it wont be far off.
I think the brown one is an A.Deswalii but what do you think? I has a tiny bit of blue/puple on some tips so far but other than that its a turd....for now.

And now the white one.I can honstly say ive never seen anything like this before.The growth is really odd.You can see where it had been broken in the wild and the broken parts have stayed in the colony and continued to grow but in the other direction! It was really badly bleached but started to develop a really nice flouro yellow so i had it.Weather or not it will go all yellow of green or anything else for that matter i have no idea.Its settling in now and im seeing zooxanthellae beginning to re populate the whole colony so im sure it will survive.
Anyway,what do you think this will become?

Its nice to buy colourful corals but i really enjoy nurturing the ugly ducklings back into full feather!
So what do you think they will become?

Dave :)

Not an expert at id for acros but what ever they are, they are a great shape, especially the white one! :)
I suggest a change of plan... Let the wookie win
