coralites are too close together imo for a staghorn.

if its on a black plastic plug it may very well be from ORA. If the base hes yet to fully encrust the plug check an see if you can see the "ORA" stamp that they put on there black plugs. This may help you indenitfy it easier. It looks to me like a type of tortusa.

with it having good color and light purple growth tips (ie its not stalled in growth and slowly thickening) rulling out stag based on this seems reasonable

I have been trying to ID this, it kind looks a little like a mix of them both(I know this is not possible) Here is two pics of the Turquoise Staghorn and the Blue Tort is in the background to the left, I'm sure you know already. Sometimes on your pic I'm saying Stag, then I look again and am like maybe Tort

I am going with a Tort, the knobby tips are too bulbous for the Stag, IMO.

Looks just like the Roscoe's Blue( I have two), only the color is off to me, might be the difference in lighting. I don't know, I guess I'll quit guessing.

does it really matter what it is? they both req the same care. and they r both beautiful!

 

[brandon7491]

yes it does matter what it is because he asked.

easy there killer.
its still nice to know what a coral is. and a stag and a tort dont really have the same requirements IMO.

true most stags need the max amount of light while many torts can be placed in the middle of the tank

vice versa
