That is a LeptoserisCan someone tell me the name of this Acro. Does a ton of encrusting and finally giving some grown polyps. Thanks for all the help!
Edit: I assume you are talking about the yellow one.
But are you?

Wrong Genus altogether. Leptoseris as stated above. Prefers lower light than Acropora and is an encrusting coral.

Looks like a 24k lepto, possibly goldschlager lepto

The acropora infront everyone. You won't be able to know really until it starts growing out or up.

Agree that it needs to grow more before a positive ID is possible, but just as a guess, Strawberry Shortcake (Acropora microclados) maybe? The colors seem right for it, and it is my understanding that microclados tend to encrust a lot before putting out branches.

Are you asking for the species name or the "fun" name

Wow, my brain looked right past the acro, lol. Sorry about that. This is what happens with a toddler in the house.
Tough to say with it mostly in the encrusting phase.

Sorry for any confusion. The gold coral is a lepto, quite an incrusting bugger. Sort of thought it was a shortcake, thanks for all the input!
