Acropora
cytherea (blue tip table) Table Acropora, fine branches with
light blue
tips. Another potentially fast grower, it will create multiple
plating tables with very fine branches. Extensive encrusting is normal and
usually will lead to a lower table forming. frags available $25 |

Acropora hyacinthus
This is a true table coral, I
salvaged it from a local store back in 2001 it has blue/purple tips and
the polyps always seem to be out. This species is difficult to keep if
you keep moving it around. frags available $20 - 25 |

small branches that only grow horizontal. the tips have a purple/blue hue
and the polyps become progressively greener towards the growing tips. no frags available at this time $40 |

Acropora florida
This is one of my personal favorites, It
may not be the most colorful but the growth form is very unique. Similar in base color to Acropora yongei but with smooth corallites
and orange/golden branch tips. Large colonies will exhibit flattened
branches gracefully curving and tabling. This one is a fast grower that can occasionally
have growth spurts of up to 1/2" a month. A good SPS starter
coral it can handle a wide range of light and current environments. 2 frags available $20 - 30 |
