Couldn’t pass this up at the LFS for the price they had it at. Unfortunately it didn’t come with a name other than ‘acropora’ . Anyone have an idea on what ‘market name’ this one might go by?

Is this a maricultured piece that was imported? If so, then it does not have lineage and therefore no trade name. If it was aquacultured and grown in captivity, I would say it looks like PC Rainbow.

Not entirely sure. I’m wanting to say it’s aquacultured and I agree it does look much like a PC Rainbow.

That's 95% a Maricultured piece. You can tell by the frag they mount them on. I will say this, that's one of the nicest pieces I've seen and has excellent color. You'll need some light on that.
