Wow, I'm sure I have that exact same coral. Unfortunately I have no idea what it is. I'll be awaiting an answer as well.

WOw thats a great looking coral were do you keep it? Mine has not opened as much as yours. Was it wild cuaght? is it in direct flow or indirect flow?

Thanks, I've had it about a month and a half. I just took the pic today. I'm guessing it's wild because it has an Acro crab and no base, just a bit of rock. It also had some sort of snapping shrimp that I had to remove because it kept building a fabric-like tube throughout the base of the coral. I keep the coral on the sandbed in a 40 breeder (which is a pretty shallow tank) under a 250w Phoenix in a Lumenarc reflector. It's not in direct flow but gets enough flow to keep the polyps moving. As for the ID, you might have it. The only corals I know of with a shape like this are samoensis and humilis, and it looks more like samoensis on that site.
Yours looks really nice too, just no polyp extension. But I guess that's to be expected with a new coral.
