Picked this up from my LFS a while ago because I thought it had potential. It started out tan with yellow tips and has since turned into a purple candelight...best description I can give. Deep purple base with bright yellow tips. Looks to be tabling as well. Anyone else have this coral? I've never seen this color combo and am pretty stoked!

Looks to me like an Acropora Carduus

It looks like the coral that wwc sells. They sell it as jose casa candle light. I think that's the name you can look it up in their web site. Btw nice looking frag.

Looks close, but the jose casas looks to have a blue base, this is purple and more yellow on the tips. This was also an "aussie" coral. I'll let it grow out and see what looks like. Either way, same or different, I'm more than happy with the frag.

Did you try looking up the Carduus? Click on Acropora and then scroll down to the bottom of this link: http://www.garretts-acropolis.com/
