I just purchased a Acropora Clathrata. Do any of you own these species and is it the same as the hyacantius? the table form is the same.

I am not sure
I kept a very small (too small in my opinion for it to be viable) frag of a beautiful blood red A. hyacinth, and it had corallites that looked alot like a table form of A. mille. So I would say they looke similar, but mine came from a colny that was very tightly buched, and was very table like in shape, only the very edge had branch tips that were not connected to a table base.Your pic shows some longer branches.
Thats a nice peice though. You better slow down or your gonna run out of space b4 you can get the other tank together.
By the way it lasted about 1 month then started tissue recession, but the frag was a tiny 3/4 inch frag with a couple branches, and it came off a wild colony. It was a freeby, so I tried, but knew it was an uphill battle due to branch size. Thats one reason I like a 3 inch or more frag of anything. Gives the little sps a chance to make enough food to live and enough food to lay down a healthy base..
Where is the updated tank pics?????

Edward, I have a nice deep purple frag of acropora clathrata that came from Bill Bramucchi in minnesota before he took his 450g sps tank down. Mine came in pink and his colony is pink but mine turned a deep purple under the iwasaki's. I'm interested to see if it goes back to pink under the new 10k's.
Clathrata is not the same as hyancinthus. Hyancinthus is what I call the perfect tables. Also like cytherea. Clathrata is a much thicker branch coral and while it does grow in a table type shape it is not like a true table. Going by this pic if you put a hyancinthus and a clathrata side by side you'd see the big difference.
