kinda looks like my A. nana, only mine is purple with green coralites and tips. its much smaller tho, so maybe this is what i have to look forward to. i brightened up your pic and added mine for comparison. whattaya think?

Let me share this link with you guys, maybe it'll help with some of your acro id's..... Let me know what you come up with. The purple-ish one looks more like A. Valida. Hard to really tell from that pic.
