It's probably an Acropora tortusa, but again, it's hard to tell without a skeletal sample. Please don't call it a Cali Tort unless you know its lineage. Back in the day, when the Solomon islands were bringing in the torts, there were four main ones, the most famous being the Oregon Tort and the Cali Tort. There are others coming in now too. ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |
