Actually good points. The first pic comes from:
http://www.garretts-acropolis.com/Info_Acropora.htm
They do state that coralites are very similar to A. tenuis but a little smaller.
I looked and looked at Veron's again and it is looking more like pic #2.
It's tough being an acropora newbie. Very confusing. Can BAR put together an Acropora weekly learning series where we just talk about one species and show pictures of common names with coralite structures, color morphs, etc??
