I know it's a crappie pic(the only cam I have is my iPhone). It's purple with blue tips and so far the polys r brown.

Damn those are some bushy polyps. My guess is Acropora tenuis.

+1 on the tenuis it's probably the only acro iv seen with that type of polyp

The polyps looks like A. tenius, but the radial coralites don't look quite right. They seem a little too rounded, but it could just be the photo.

Nice to see another Redlands reefer!

I can't make out anything but the axial corallites, really. My vote stays with tenuis.

The polyps never go in either. I got it a few days ago from coral island and Tony wasn't even sure on what it was. That's y I'd thought I'd post something. Well I'll see how it grows out and try again.
