    Dear bros,

    The images are definitely very helpful to newbies like me on identification of sps. To the untrained eye like me, I have great difficulty telling them apart since they exhibit different coloration under different lights too.

    I hope I'm not being imposing here, but if possible, may I suggest that other than identification, the experienced bros can indicate the form (e.g. tabling), light (placement in aquarium), flow or other specific requirements etc.

    That would be most helpful to many of us new to sps here.

    Thanks a million!

    Hi Bro,

    You can see those form from the web link in my 1st page.

    For flow & lighting, you can guess base on the information of the species orgin and the area of reef where they come from.

    I also wanted to request to senior reefers to share their experience about Aquaculture SPS in new thread.

    Happy reefing !

    Good info bro~! :thumbsup:

    Just curious, does the growth form you mentioned applies to wild colonies or aquacultured ones?

    My impression (from googling) is that growth form for aquacultured sps in our tanks varies due to the intensity of flow we apply in our tanks. Very strong flow leads to stumpy and thick growth and reasonable flow leads to thin and elongated growth. Just what I have read online but ive not experienced it myself as my tank is still new..

    What if a acropora millepora experience a lower flow in our tanks? Will they turn out to be thin and elongated? Just for dicussion to enhance my limited knowlegde :D

    Hi Bro,

    My infos are both wild & aquaculture colonies .

    In my lit experiences, our wave in the tank cannot change so much different to Mille & Prostrata like what you said.

    Our wave will affect the formation of branches.But it couldn't change the Mille to Prostrata.

    :)

    Thin & Thick case more happen in Monti Plate.

    To be sure , I wish Bro Cedric can explain you more . :)
