Why I like trying unknown acros

[Nandez13]

I've had these two acros for a few months but have never known their names. Got them as unknown acros in trades and both have grown nicely in my tank. It's hard to get a good photo under my lights. The first SPS is much bluer than it looks in the photo. 2nd photo is the top down view of that acro. Grew this one out from a 1" frag. The 2nd acro is a dark blue-green. Any ideas on names or type of acro at least?

I feel the same way. Sometimes you get an acro that actually turns out better looking for as color than the popular acros. By the way, can I get a frag, lol.

Love the first acro. Very nice!
I would guess first one is a tenuis, second one looks like a nana or valida.

Wow. You grew that from a 1 inch frag in one month. Must be using HGH. . Do you have a tank thread? Thanks.

"Few months". Reading comprehension is not my specialty. !!

Thanks, it's my favorite sps in my tank. It does look like a tenius; I haven't been able to find anything closer. I got a good shot of it last night after I had to turn the lights back on. If only it kept that polyp extension during the day.

I'd call it Nandez' blue tenius but that'd open a can of worms... :lol_large
