You still collecting zoos? I have some brickyards...Silver Australogyra, blue & orange cyphastrea occellata...all for lootin' purposes

Bottlebrush is just a generic term, which refers to the growth pattern. I'm not sure on species, and its pretty hard to be accurate 99.9% of the time.

Not really too crazy. There are a bunch of A. Tenuis/Pulchra floating around that look similar.

I don't think its a tenius, it actually looks like the purple tip acropora lokani (aka bottlebrush cause how it grows).
Seacrh that name on google.

Nah, deswalii doesn't have axial corallites like that. Maybe A. Navini. It's too small to tell. Chris, i really need a piece to inspect closer
