Possibly desalwii or tenius. Could you get a top down photo? or a pic that shows the top of the coral more?

Thanks, I'll get one tomorrow when the lights are on.

Here ya go danfrith,

Hopefully these will do it, if not let me know and I'll try again...just not the best photog.

I was wondering if you would look at another one for me also. I really appreciate the help. I'm just not good at the latin thing and I'm trying to do an inventory of my tank.

Thanks again.

Just guesses but I would say:
1. desalwii
2.plana

Thanks danfrith.

Acropora cythera. Typically has tentacles extended during the day.

A. desalwii rarely shows a closed surface, and then not at the edges. A. plana tends to be more open, but would be my second choice, should it come from a turbulent area of the reef.

Very beautiful! Congratulations.
