No help here, but it is a very nice looking coral.

[murphreef]

thanks cward... yeah ive been waiting and waiting to c what this thing is cuz it was so wierd lookin as a frag....

now its lookin really nice with the pink coralits and polyps along with a lime green branch..... i hope it grows fast and we get a better look at what it is...

picked it up about ayear ago at an LFS for $20 they didnt know what it was either got it from a different reefer but it looked cool so i grabbed it since then i almost killed it and now its doin great and growing fairy fast now

now that its grown out it kinda looks like a nana

[murphreef]

thanks UFreefer but i dont think its a Nana i have one of those and not the same and e specially color wise but thanks for the try imstill confused anyone else

[twon8]

color shouldn't be used as a indicator of species

maybe latistella

[PUGroyale]

^^^ that would be my guess. Either that or maybe desalwii or plana. great growth btw :)

[GSMguy]

awsome coral awsome growth

[murphreef]

thanks for the help everyone man its so hard to tell i guess i can go with that guess right now maybe in another 6 months it will be even clearer to what it is?

[UFreefer]

sorry I meant plana not nana haha

it may take a bit, but he will get back to you

Looks very similar to the one I posted for Chris to Id on that same thread. He came back with A. selago. FWIW

murphreef,

I am here... for the moment :). Not that my belief's on ID's are all that accurate.

CAreefer mentioned A. selago which is a good guess as this piece has small corallites that contrast with the overall branches color. The one difference that I see is that the corallites (murphreef's)do not have a protruding lip whereas CAreefer does. So with this in mind I believe that this is A. insignis.

I hope that this does well for you in the future,

Chris @ RM
