Sorry about the quality of the pic. I was at someones home the other day and saw this in their tank. They couldn't remember the name of the coral. I asked them to take a pic and send it to me so I could post it here. I don't think the color is accurate due to the bad pic.

Any Idea??????

It's a deepwater acropora. Possibly Turaki or Granulosa

He might have said it was a "Red Dragon" acro, but doesn't look like one to me.

+1 on the deep water coral, also possibly a Lokani. http://www.captivereefs.com/totm-pics/10-Sept/acropora_lokani_2.jpg

Absolutely, It's tough to distinguish the above mentioned species apart, unless maybe grown out colonies.
