What kind is it? It is bright green under actinics. Sorry the pic isn't that great...

It almost looks like a hydnophora, not an acro.

Very possible, I bought it as an "assorted coral" and was told it was an Acro...

It is Hydnophora rigida, give it some space as it is aggressive and may actually send out sweeper tenticles and eat your acros.

Yeah, not an acro and VERY aggressive (give it lots of room)

Could you tap the coral so the polyps retract. I want to see the body structure.
