Id, giver I mig ret, eller?

[crazy seahorse]

Jeg har denne her SPS i mit rev.
Den er købt som Acropora horrida. Men jeg er ret sikker på, at det ikke er en Acropora.
Den mangler en axial corralites, altså den polyp som sidder for enden af den enkelte gren - hvilket den skal have for at være en Acropora.

Anacropora forbesi?

Jeg har aldrig spottet polypper ude på den. Men den vokser fint og har mange vækst spidser.
Jeg har grublet lidt over det og er kommet frem til, at det næsten kun kan være en Anacropora - nærmere præcist en Anacropora forbesi.
Kan nogen komme med et bedre bud, eller er i enige?

jeg har haft en anacropora og det kunne ligne den men hvad det er mer ved jeg ikke

Members of this genus are generally fragile corals with branches less than ten centimetres long which form small colonies. The branches are either spreading or may be clustered and are sometimes fused together. The calices are rounded and up to one millimetre in diameter. The area between the calices is porous with numerous small tubercles. There are no axial corallites and the main septa number six with a few more subsidiary ones.[1] The small radial corallites have an ‘empty’ appearance similar to Montipora. The delicate tentacles can often be seen extended during the day.
