encrusting monti ?

[pookstreet]

Yeah, both Montis are encrusting type.

[pookstreet]

Anyone? Someone here has got to be able to ID some of these. It's not like they are RARE or anything

Acro 1 looks like a green slimer.

The rest are Acros and Montis

LOL......you are as helpful as dymaxiun

But seriously tho, what exactly is a "slimer" anyways? It's not a species name as far as I know. So which Acro species does it refer to? Thanks.

[dymaxiun]

I'm as much help as my pain threshold is high... my brain hurts...

[dymaxiun]

Checking my guesses...

onti 2 - M.Nodosa...

Acro 4 - A Yongei (i have one that likes like that but hasn't colored up yet... are the polyps blue?

Acro 5 must be a A.Granulosa,...but if it is it is too early to really guess.. Looks young....Possibly A. Echinata, or A. Gomezi

I'm no expert...

Acro 3... Mmmmm

Slimer agreed... The name didn't stick

[dymaxiun]

ACRO 3... A. Speciosa

[pookstreet]

Does Acro 2 look like some kind of milli?

I am really interested in know what Monti 1 is. Anyone?

[dymaxiun]

Well, I'll give it a shot tonite. Man, I wished I had a macro lense.

I stink at IDing monti's but the acros might be the following:

acro 1 looks like Nathan's Mille from ORA
acro 2 seems like an A. prostrata
acro 3 might be A. Miami Orchid Stag from ORA
acro 4 is a microthalma
acro 6 shot in the dark ..... hyacinthus??

hope this helps,

I agree, acro 2 looks just like my A. prostrata.

[Satori]

BTW, I really like Monti 1.
