What do you think? It's not really the same growth pattern as a Lokani. I've had it for about 6 months and it's doing awesome.  |

This is a low light Acro so will need to stay in a darker spot in the tank. My fixture has 2 250W Halides, I don't have enough in the tank yet to need both. I keep this Acro all the way to the opposite side of the MH so it's mostly just getting light from the actinics. Pic below you can see how little light it's getting. If you're keeping ALK and CA stable and have good flow you'll be able to keep this Acro.  |

Enchcantia's are more smooth skinned imo. You also see a different coralite structure going up the branches. ID'ing Acropora is very hard through photographs online but I have a Enchcantia and they're very different in appearance to me. Here's the Ora Hawkins encantia  I also have a Hawkins blue enchcantia in my tank. But it's not much to look at yet. |

What about Acropora walindii? Same species as red dragon, blue dragon I believe Don't think I ever would of thought red dragon when I looked at this but then I saw this pic of a blue dragon  |
