I found this little colony back in May, it had lost most color so had been ignored at the LFS for a few weeks luckily for me lol. Hoping you can ID it for me please Jason. :)

3 weeks later, it liked the high light and flow a lot.

I would guess Acropora anthoceris because of the unique tips.

Thanks for the suggestion smtank, i originally thought the same until i saw what A. hyacinthus looks like up close.
Thanks Jason, the tips are very distinct indeed so as usual i think you're spot on mate. :thumbsup:

I wish I could find those "little" colonies here, and at what you pay for them. :)
