It doesnt look like one to me. Here is my bali green slimer. The corallites are tighter and more pointed compared to yours that look more broad.

Could be. Thanks! I'll have to wait to see how it looks when it is happy and growing again. It was under some inadequate lighting at the LFS for 8 months while I moved and it is readjusting to my new tank.

Possibly could be a Purple Plasma Stag. Mine was green until I moved it into higher light, now it's getting purple tips with green polyps. Yours is larger than mine, but same growth pattern.

May be the same species, but this one has always been green. Even green in the tank(s) it came from. Mine is on the top rock under metal halide and 4 T5s.

In your picture, it looks like there's purple in the top branches. Maybe it's just your lighting rather than actually being purple.
